Going out of my mind. I have 4" squares & need advice
#1
My son has requested a 'camo' quilt, and I'm frantically running around trying to throw something together to take on vacation with me last minute. I'm talking SIMPLE no-mind vacation quilting (with a cold beverage in-hand). I found 8 different colors of 4" squres that I cut out years ago (including a camo one), and I wondered if anyone could throw some advice at me of what I could make out of them. I was really trying to use stuff from my stash, and he likes these colors. I had started a triangle quilt many (many!) years ago using these fabrics, but I hated the quilt and the pattern and just didn't enjoy the process so I quit. Perhaps I can figure out how to use them now? The only think I can think of is 9-patch, but then I need to figure out a layout.

How about a 1/2" square triangle quilt? Use one dark square, one light square, draw diagonal line down center from corner to corner, sew 1/4" away from line (will be 2 lines sewn) then cut on line... square up if needed. Simple and can be arranged in many designs.

How about a sudoku quilt?

Some great ideas here, thanks! I really wish I didn't care so much, because it's obvious my son's not really "into" quilts yet. Just really wanted to make him something nice because I feel he's been jipped in the quilt area. I'm sure I'm over-thinking this.
I enjoy vacation, don't get me wrong, but I just am a homebody and if hubby could honestly stay home here for a week and NOT work, I'd be content with that. I feel like I need to pack my stash and every quilt pattern I could possibly want to make when I'm away. Crazy since I'll only be gone for 5 days!
Thanks again...
