Has any tried a scrappy warm wishes quilt?
I have been busy cutting up some smaller pieces of fabrics-less then 1/2 yd pieces into strips and now I'm wanting to do something different with them. besides log cabins, pineapples, jelly roll races-done them all several times.
I think that in order to do a scrappy version it would require planning. I googled it and didn't really find scrappy versions. You guys are terrible talented and figured someone may have tried it.

I love this pattern, I've made several with 3 fabrics.

I think the main thing is to keep the rail fences the same for each block, to give it that cool framing effect. Guess I need to put my makeshift design wall back up and play a little. I take a large piece of batting and pin it around the poles of the shelving unit. It doesn't look classy but it works.

I think the warm wishes would work well with scrappy strips. If not the same fabric, concentrate on placing fabrics with the same value.
I would also suggest looking at Bonnie Hunter's website for some patterns. www.quiltville.com

Charity-crafter -- I was about to post the same type of question. I was thinking to make a warm wishes I Spy quilt. I have looked at many of the Bonnie Hunter patterns, but since it is I Spy I want to have larger squares. What I am having problems with is getting the contrast of the rail fence stripes so they really show.
