Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use Fabric Swatches. I had a fabric store give me 40 plus fabric swatches from all different materials and all different colors none are the same. It is a good size for pillows but that would be alot of pillows, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Actually I have seen a pattern where you take the same SIZE of sqares and cut them at an angle (not corner to corner) and move one piece from the top to the bottom and sew the the different pieces together. Then you iron and re-cut at a different angle, move one portionto the bottom of the pile and sew again. This is what I mean by the stack and whack, sorry it wasn't clear that I did not mean the one referred to :) (The teacher called it stack and whack about 10 years ago)
