Thread: Suggestions - quilt from Tim Holtz "Eclectic Elements" fabric

I agree with Tartan. It would look great with this fabric line.

A lot of these quilt patterns use big blocks, http://www.mapleislandquilts.com/quiltpatterns.asp look at ones like BQ, In step, stackables and hot shot, maybe one of these would suit?

I would like to make a quilt for my husband with it. I don't want to cut it up too much but also want some design to it.
Suggestions appreciated for a pattern that will feature this fabric at it's best.

but you can post a link to it.... here is the link http://timholtz.com/eclectic-elements-fabric-line/

or free pattern - Lumina Dawn by Kaufman - http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin..._Size/#color:1

Note: to me, the Lumina Dawn looks like it needs the darker gray around the large print strips. But, that's just me.

Nice fabric. You could do all sorts of things with it. Mix some blocks with some 4 patches or stagger them. I have found that when all else fails the DP9 works wonders!

Looks like a great "man quilt" fabric line. I was not familiar with it before this post, but love the line and some of the other's suggestions. Hope you get the perfect combination and show us your finished quilt!
