Here is another choice. I just made this quilt with 2 1/2" strips and 5 (or 5 1/2") squares. This would look great with your fabrics!

I am seeing something that radiates from color to color, from quilt center to sides....how about Trip around the world.

I'm going to be starting one of these. I'm attending a quilt retreat with some friends and can't wait to start it.

Just an idea. I thought it was just a little different, so it appealed to me personally. Can't wait to see what you decided upon.

Oh! I like that "dragon skin" use of clamshells!

I had a lot of fun making the Jewel Box. Of course, it's and old pattern, you can get it at www.quilterscache.com or many other placesbut I never really liked it until I saw on in jewel tones. whatever you end up doing, those colors are magnificent.

OK everyone...thanks for all the ideas! I finally settled on this block and design...I wanted this quilt to be like my friend...she's pretty and she sparkles with life. This is Jessie's Sparkle Stars!
