I saw this quilt in the Keepsake catolgue that arrived in the mail today. You may need a couple more colors but this is a very cool quilt.

If this link doesn't work the quilt is called Xanadu quilt pattern.

Consider a pattern from Raidant Sunshine & Shadow....Just a LOT of 9 patches, but the results are stunning!! Wish I had a picture that I could post of the Blue batik that I made for my grandson.

I agree with jodiemarie. A black main color background withose colors using a jewel box pattern would be great. i made a quueen size one once and it came out beautiful. I entered it in the county fair and won a third place ribbon. I was cery excited because it was one of my early quilts.

Too late for an opinion, but I wonder which pattern was chosen.

Oh, and I don't want to make a bargello (too mans tiny pieces). I am thankful for every idea.

I'd like to say in the kindest way I can, you need to add some prints to this grouping. The same pattern in different colors is just so........Take these with you and go shopping - the girls in the shop will have a great time too. Remember it isn't always about color. There is value and these fabrics need something to play off of. Now that's my opinion. Amish have been doing plain fabrics forever and people love them, but I don't like Amish quilts. I love scrappy quilts and that might not be to your liking.

Can you please advise as to the manufacturer and line of fabric, it is gorgeous. I can see a jewel box made from these fabrics, it would be fantastic!
