    There is a pieced pattern of Fish Bowls that might be fun to do.

    How about a DNP (disappearing nine patch)? They seem to always work no matter what fabric is used and it is a fairly quick sew. There is also Take Five and Turning Twenty (or something like that). It just depends on how many different fabrics you are using.

    Warm Wishes was my first thought as well.

    Warm Wishes is the simplest quilt to make. You can make changes to the pattern. I have this quilt I am going to make and cut the Focus fabric larger making it an 8" square. You could do fuzzy cuts of fish and use them in the corners. For my quilt, I wonted to make something that looked like a propeller. I did the drawing using EQ7.

    I really like the idea of the fish bowl pattern, but the one at QuilterCache is only 6 inches - is there larger patterns out there? Can I just enlarge this pattern on a copier?
    Thanks
