    The snowball pattern works well with that, if the sayings are small enough to fit inside one.

    Lori Holt sometimes uses fabrics with words for backgrounds in her pieced quilting. Her site is beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.ca

    When in doubt, I look at the fabric manufacturer website. There are always good suggestion on what to do with their fabric. I agree with snowballing the words. It depends on what the size of the fabric squares are.

    I have made stars with quote fabric using the word fabric in the middle square. Just make the star the size needed to incorporate the word fabric so it fits nicely.

    I was a little disappointed with the piece I bought. After I got it home I realized they weren't all the same size square. That makes it tougher to use.
    Blessed are the quilters, for they are the piecemakers.
