Smile thoughts on a pattern !

Ben Franklins in Helena , MT is going out of business and closing by the end of June, so I bought 2 yards of each of these the other day. I want to make a quilt for the expected first child of my granddaughter and her husband. We do not know the gender yet but my granddaughter loves purple and she loved these fabrics. I would appreciate any suggestions to use all of these fabrics....thank you for your help[ATTACH=CONFIG]547809[/ATTACH]

It looks kind of like 1930 reproduction feed sack fabrics. If you won't know the sex of the baby, I might pair it with white in a chevron quilt.

I like all those fabric patterns. I think it would be very hard to chose which one to use.

I sent this Chevron baby quilt that I came across in Google Images to my quilting friends a few days ago. I am planning on making one out of flannel:

You could either do ever other row with a soft white like Kona Snow or find pastel solids that will coordinate with the prints. Cute fabric. Who makes it??

My friend made a quilt with similar fabrics called Heartstrings by Evelyn Sloppy. There is a free pattern download on Martingale/ThatPatchworkPlace. It is made up of heart shaped log cabin blocks. So cute! She made hers with only the heart blocks. The pattern shows more log cabin designs. One in the center and around the border. It is pretty either way. Hope you take a look. It seems to go with the fabric, IMHO. You do have to sign in to get the free downloads but I think they are a reputable company.

Just looked at the chevron pattern that Maniacquilter2 suggested. That is darling, too. Good luck with your decision, you can't go wrong with that cute fabric.

Fat quarter shop.com has a tutorial on you tube that is called rick rack paddy whack that these would look good in. It is a snowball quilt with some borders around it and then set with large rick rack. REALLY cute. I think they have a link to it on their site.

Thank you so much for the pattern, it is lovely.....the fabric says '' 1930's classics designed for Exclusively Quilters''.
It is so nice to the touch.

there's a very cute baby quilt at this qb post that may work great with these fabrics, with the addition of a little white. It's the 4th photo down. I saved it because I plan to make it one day.
