new fabric, no ideas
I just purchased 5 new fabrics. Love them. But I do not know what to do with a set of 3 of them. One is by Penny Rose called Olivia, Which is the name of my youngest daughter. This piece has a large print of flowers on it. I want to keep the flower intact. I also bought a orange and a teal green to go with it. I would also like to use a cream to match. All solid. Anyone have any ideals? The other 2 are by a new line of fabric to me, it is STOF fabric love the feel of this. I plan to make Christmas stockings and place mats for my other daughters new house. It is tan.cream with a little gold and deer that are gray. I know that is a odd color combo. But this is what she used in her house.(minus the gold)It is really amazing together.

I was going to mention children's patterns until I read further on and realised your daughter is older than that. A picture of the fabric may help to decide patterns. My idea would be disappearing 9 patch.

There are so many patterns out there and it really depends on the level of difficulty you want to deal with. I go and search thru Google Images and find a lot of patterns I want to make. If you want simple, Warm Wishes is my go to pattern especially with charity quilts.

For the large flower print I really like the BQ2 pattern but I see In Step and BQ4 look like they would work well too. They are patterns by http://www.mapleislandquilts.com/quiltpatterns.asp
