suggestions for use of 4"x4" in patchwork top

Thanks in advance for your comments. I have been given a bag of 4" 100%
cotton squares (various colors) and would like to know how you would
use them to pice a qiult top?

Well my current project, I am attempting to make a quilt for our bed that is just 4" squares pieced together. Its nothing fancy, but I wanted to make something for us for a change, and I wanted something simple. So I am making the quilt out of 4" scraps.

Oh my, lucky you! You could shade them from one side to the other,
make a trip around the world- using all reds for one round, all blues
for another, etc., you could draw a diagonal line across each one and
sew 1/4 in. on each side, cut them apart and have half square triangles
to make a BUNCH of 9 patch based blocks. The sky is the limit. Have
fun and good luck!

I have lots & lots of 4" squares. I am going to put them all in a bag,
start pulling them out one at a time, and make my daughter a table runner
for her new table, and placemats. I did this with 2" squares, and it was
fun.

I'd like to pass on a thought: if you are going to leave them as
squares, it would be lovely if you set them on point. You would still
join them in rows, but these rows would be placed at 45 degrees to
horizontal/vertical. The only extra little bit of work would be at the
four edges and corners. I always think that angle makes a piece look so
special.

even the edges can be done like this.. just leave a zigzag edge and square
it all up afterwards

For a moment there when I saw the subject line I thought you were
referring to a piece of lumber.
