Grandma's Fabric

My grandparents are moving. Not just moving, but building a brand new house, and moving off the farm they've owned for the 60 years that they've been married. SOOOOO...needless to say grandma's packing! I told her in casual conversation one day that if she decided that she didn't want to pack all of her fabric I would take it. I didn't tell her why i wanted it, and she didn't ask, she just said she would let me know. This weekend, I picked it up! My oh my is there a lot of fabric...sad part is, she didn't give it all to me...I saw tubs of it packed to move!!!

My original plan was to divide the fabric up and make a quilt for each of her grandkids (there's 8 of us!). I know the quilts won't be very big and maybe not even pretty, but once I got the fabric home and divided into color specific piles I didn't know HOW I was going to choose who got what or even what types of quilts I was going to make...I'm overwhelmed.

Any ideas? I'd love to hear them!

Browns

Blues

Yellows

Reds

Black & White

Greens

Pinks & Purples

There are several scraps, but also several LARGE pieces of fabric...probably a yard or more.
