Default Irish obsession

My roommate fell in love with this fabric in JoAnn's and spent 3 hours playing with patterns and coordinating fabrics. Without a plan, she bought 1/3 yard to bring home and show me. I also fell in love with it, but I knew EXACTLY which pattern to make. I will post a picture of the fabric. I would love to hear what the creative people on this board would do with it, then I will post what we decided to do with it. We both have plenty of WIP, but we just could not resist starting on this fun quilt.

Oh love the fabric. Don't know how I would use it in a quilt but will follow to see what ideas everyone comes up with.

Would it be a one block wonder?

IDK what you would do either, but, my guess, Snowball. It is a pretty print. Hope you were able to get some for yourself. Nice thread. Am interested to see what you do. I will bookmark.

Hint - I purchased four yards of the fabric! We will need four more before we are done.

Well the most obvious I can think of would be Irish Chain but it would make a good OBW or 4PP. If you wanted to see more of the print a Warm Wishes would be good.

Bought recently as in Monday. Went back today and it is GONE! It is not available online. We're going to try another JoAnn's, but I wasn't expecting that. I found all the abbreviations one day, now cannot find them. What is an OBW & 4PP? Where do I find these abbreviations again? I will have to look for a Warm Wishes in the archives.
