    Default Ideas for a Fast and Fabulous Quilt Needed

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm trying to sew through all my fabric before I'm dead - not that I'm dying, but it isn't doing anyone any good sitting in a bin or on a shelf.
    So, do you have any ideas for a really fast pattern using these four fabrics? You can get an idea of the scale by the marks on the cutting board.

    Warm Wishes is fast and could be made beautifully with those fabrics, IMO. The pattern is free on-line. I'd use the large print for the squares and the smaller print for the middle rectangle. You can make it any size you want. And it's strip-pieced so it's fast.

    I'm thinking a disappearing 4-patch, with the duck squares being uncut. If you scale everything to the size of those squares, I think you'll like what you get. Depending on how much fabric you have, the geese would make a great backing for a duck quilt.

    Warm wishes also came to my mind.

    Keep the ideas coming. I'm not too sure about any of the suggestions ... YET. Maybe I'll make some blocks of each and see what happens.

    What great fabric! It will be fun, whatever you decide.

    I am thinking a log cabin with the charms as the center, one side ligh blue and one side dark blue. Duck all over fabric for wide border.

    This is what I was thinking. If you had some browns and tans you could add those to the log cabin sides.
