St Patricks Day - quilt ideas for this fabric
There's a yard of each of the fabric in the pic attached. Hoping someone can recommend a Irish themed pattern that will showcase the green print fabric which I LOVE!
I'm great at sewing, just don't have the skill and intuition to picture where fabrics would look best in a pattern.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I can see why you love the print fabric! I think I would keep the green print fabric in one piece - use it for the center - kind of like a medallion center and then use borders to frame and expand the quilt to your desired size or............... you could just mail that piece to me!!! LOL Be sure and post when you get this one done. It is going to be a beauty.

That fabric is beautiful! I think I'd just keep the first fabric whole and make borders with the other fabrics and then quilt shamrocks all over the place. Please post when you have finished the project, we'd love to see it.

I tend to agree with the other gals about keeping the Irish print large. But, I would add a light green as well to bring out the highlights of the shamrocks. The coral is lovely, but should be kept to a small offering in the quilt whatever you choose. Perhaps an Double Irish Chain or a BQII?
