- You will need more squares the same size and similar fabric to make the quilt. Do some searching to get ideas like the one in this link:
- Get some other fabric that you like that has some of that same color in it. Make some squares of the same size. Then get a third solid color that picks up one of the colors in your print that also goes with your original pink, and make more squares. Finally, pick a fourth solid color that blends with all, and make your final squares. Arrange them all together, and back the whole thing with a high quality bedsheet of a blending solid color. Put a layer of fluff in the middle, and tack the layers together on a 6" grid, either in straight lines or on a diagonal grid. Edge the whole thing with piping, either that you buy or make. What a fun project! Enjoy! Remember to prewash everything.
- i've given a thumbs up to Carlisle's answer. here's another idea - if you can crochet or knit, then choosing the right color yarn, crochet/knit squares of the same size [15x15] to fill in the space required to make a quilt. join them all together in an attractive pattern... you could do tatting too, but that would be too time-consuming. you can also use other fabric [similar to the napkin material] squares on which you can do some embroidery, patchwork or embellish them in other ways & similarly join all together to form a meaningful whole. EDIT : considering the amount of material you have you could go in for a table runner, wall hanging or cushion covers instead of a quilt. hope these help all the best & enjoy
