Which pattern would you choose for this fabrics
 

Morning :)

I got this fabrics as a christmas gift. They all are the same style but different colours. I want to have them all in one quilt, but am uncertain with a pattern. So what would you choose? My last quilt took me several months because of a lot of appliques and handquilting. Now I would choose something simple and a pattern where i can stitch in the ditch with sewing machine. Oh, and I don't want to make a bargello (too mans tiny pieces). I am thankful for every idea.

Fat Quarter Shop just blogged about two of their patterns which I think these would look great in: http://www.fatquartershop.blogspot.c...ttle-time.html
They are designed for a fat quarter bundle but I think they'd work well with your fabrics. If you go with just these fabrics, you'll have a nice modern looking quilt. Is that something you want or are you looking for more traditional?

I would find a good rich true black and made either a Jacobs Ladder or a Jewel Box quilt. These 2 are almost the same pattern but look fantastic with rich deep colors for the pop factor!! I would use the dark fabric, 5th from the left side in the photo, for the borders. It would be great if you could find the same fabric pattern in a few more colors, maybe yellows, greens, blues, and a cream tone....ask the person who gave it you if they would share where they bought it. I've done many quilts with this pattern and make them totally ''scrappy'' with the black to give balance....you will like it!!

You can do an Irish chain with the different colors and a white background.

****************************
Yes, an Irish Chain would also be good!! I love to use fabrics like you have been given.....same pattern but different colors in a controlled scrappy quilt. You ''know'' all the fabrics will play well with each other....same color values....you just need to add the one solid...black or white....I prefer black for that added WOW factor. I would still check with the gift giver, to see if you could add a few more colors. It might be you would find the same color values but with a different pattern....I've done that many times and the color values stay the same but they eye will catch that slight difference in the fabric patterns. It will be a stunning quilt........

How about a rail fence with the colors arranged in two different stratas and alternating them. This will make it like a ribbon effect. For instance the purple, pinks and maroon; then the coral, orange, brown and perhaps repeat one of the oranges or pinks. BTW, the fabrics are luscious!

Beautiful fabric! How much yardage in each color?

How about this beautiful quilt that JNCT14 made: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...te-t54046.html

I saw a log cabin with colors like this. You have beautiful fabric

How about a sampler quilt?

I know you said no bargello but quiltville has a scrappy bargello that is really easy.

Yep, rail-fence or log cabin was what I was going to suggest.

First of all, without knowing the amounts of each of the fabrics, it's hard for us to know what patterns would be appropriate.

Being that you don't want small pieces ...
you could choose your piece size and make a dramatic Trip Around the World!

That being said, the smaller the piece the lovelier the quilt! IMHO

Another simplistic one that would show off these fabrics would be Anael's

http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t209624.html

and use the two darks where she used the black.

How about a zig zag quilt. You could add black or white if you wish

I'd do a Trip Around the World

I would do tumbling block. You could do the easier version with HST instead of set in seams. I would pair the two oranges with the brown then the magenta/purple group. You had a light medium and dark of each color family. It would make a stunning TB.

Look up Belfreybat 6 hour quilt in main and my thread it has an upturned thumb rail fence with a difference. This quilt is quick and very easy and all you need is black.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...p-t208703.html IMO this pattern would be superb to highlight those wonderful fabrics and so easy to do, I put the instructions for making it in this post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t198357.html

What about the "Joseph's Pinwheel" that was in Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting May/June 2011? I think it was on one of their TV segments, too. It had several brights in a pinwheel against a background of dots in each block, solid sashing, and a bright patterned border.

Maybe a Trip Around the world quilt.

Love this fabric -- would you mind sharing any info on it. Gorgeous!

Pair it with a solid white, black or light grey ... see 5th one down - the triangles

8th quilt down ... looks kind of like puzzle pieces

http://thechicagomodernquiltguild.bl...1_archive.html

Gorgeous fabric!

Hi Fay, What about a "Strips and Strings", a "Log Cabin" or maybe a "Half Log Cabin" and use a white or black in the "neutral" spaces. Can't wait to see what you end up with.
Keep in Touch when you can!
Hugs, Drue

I did this one with colors similar to yours. I did mine with jelly rolls for the colors and just cut the strips for the brown. I liked it so much I did another one is another color theme and gave this one and the other one to each of my daughters for Christmas. It went together really quickly. I think your fabric would be stunning with this pattern. It's called wavy log cabin.

Good suggestiond, DHMom

I'd also wonder about the diamond quit following the puzzle piece one.
Perhaps with a coordinating floral for the outside setting blocks and intermittent in the smaller centre diamonds.

Whatever you decide to make will be lovely using those gorgeous fabrics.

Please show us what you end up doing.

Wow! You all are great! Thanks so much for your ideas!

It was kinda funny! I choose a pattern and wanted to start the quilt. But when I was going to do the first cut I stopped cuz I like all the patterns and changed my mind every 10 minutes haha.

Well, after some hours I started and for sure I will post a picture here. And what pattern made that race? This will be a surprize :)

just seen a disappearing 9 patch and it was beautiful on this board

I like the idea of a contemporary quilt with these colors and pattern...a design that is fresh, modern and easy going and I would use black with this, as well. you'll get a jewel box look. Gorgeous fabric!

Have no suggestions but they are certainly beautiful colours & fabrics. Good luck.

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

Look into bargellos. NO tiny pieces. Only strips. you sew strips together until you have a "fabric" of the different colors, and then cut those the other way and resew to make the beautiful bargello look. Sooo easy!

How about this pattern? http://www.quilterscache.com/W/WovenRibbonsBlock.html Looks very easy to make.
It would be stunning made with your fabrics.

Maybe check out these two free patterns - I believe they would work well with your fabrics!

Not sure why one pic posted larger than the other, but I really like the smaller pic "PRISM". The pattern looks very simple and quick...

I think a French Country Farmhouse would be gorgeous in those fabrics. The pattern is in Quilters Magazine, Not sure which issue, but you should be able to search it online

I'm intrigued ... I googled, but did not find anything.
So could you please show us to what you are referring?
Thank you!

I was also thinking that that would make a stunning quilt with the colors you have or possibly a lone star where the colors would go form dark to light then back to dark. Really depends on how much you have of each fabric.

I like Chinese Coins and use the brown for the background.

I was thinking the log cabin, too. :-)

I can see a french braid...maybe the stained glass one...beautiful fabrics!
