The Double Lined or Hanging Grids demonstrated on this post came to mind:<br />https://www.carolyngibbsquilts.co.uk/techniques/quilting/quilting-design/grid-quilting/<br /><br />The quilting on this baby quilt is also cute and suits your design. However, I admit doing cross hatching in the alternate squares would definitely be a big time commitment: <br />https://www.pinterest.com/pin/356277020495769258/<br /><br />Regarding your black and white bits: My (admittedly biased) vote is for multiple colors added to the B&W. There is a pattern called "Colorplay" that I've longed to make. You could use your bits to make a variation of that design:<br />https://www.quiltingdaily.com/product/color-play-quilt-pattern-download-2/<br /><br />It's always fun when you find the beginnings of a new project in your stash!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-20574320823927003172022-10-14T06:58:00.406-06:002022-10-14T06:58:00.406-06:00I'm with Cheree on the yellow or teal.
