I have some sunflower fabric that has the yellow sunflowers on a offwhite background.. and I also have sunflower fabric that has blue/white checks with the yellow sunflowers. I am wanting to make a quilt with those fabrics but I can't seem to find anything. Oh and I have some offwhite solids to go with those sunflower fabrics. I have looked at quilterscache page by page and didnt see anything that I thought would look good. I DO NOT know how to paper peice so is totally out of the question. Can you all help me figure out what kind of pattern I could use. I am still in the beginners level and have a hard time understanding patterns so that has to be a consideration. I appreciate everyones help. ;) Thanks in advanced.

What about combining a nine-patch with a snowball....
Or a 4 patch, alternating with a big square? Sounds like you would want to showcase that pretty fabric....

Im not getting rid of any of it. I have always wanted to make a quilt with sunflowers. I got this from a bunch of fabric I just bought this past week but I have seen this fabric at walmart many times. You can try there.
