Thread: Need a good pattern idea...

I echo the "I Spy" idea. You don't have to do it with hexagons and triangles. Do a search and you'll find ideas, also quilt gallery here would be a good place to check out for similar ideas.

Thanks, all! I'm going to check out these patterns and see what I think will work best. I also really like the idea of doing sashing between blocks. I think that'll help tone down all the craziness in the fabrics.

I also like the I Spy idea. I had a class where we cut the fabric into different size blocks and did a row version of it.

I've made this one several times. Great way to showcase fabrics like what you are talking about. I did 16 prints with a solid blender for the sashing. Hope that helps!!!
