Finding Fabrics

We have been challenged in guild to make either an 18" x 24" quilt or  a 24" x 36" quilt to go in a gallon size ziplock bag to ride in the state police cars.  They will be handed to a child during a stressful time and the child will keep the quilt.  I have been looking thru my stash trying to put stuff together.  I don't have a lot of child type fabrics.  I have a bunch of solids that I may turn into a chevron type rainbow.   I thought that I could also do a disappearing 9 patch with all solids.   I'm hoping that with such a small size that I can get a couple done before Tuesday when we have guild. 
As for guild, we just found out that due to budget cuts we can no longer have our quilt show at the school.  We are searching for someplace to have our show in the fall.  We may have found something in a nearby hotel.  I just hope that it will accommodate all the quilts that we hang and still have room to walk around and see the vendors.  It looks to be an interesting year at guild.
