    Would love to hear some ideas from everyone

    Hey y'all...
    I was asked to make a quilt for a Combat Vets Association for a raffle....here is the material they gave me to make the quilt...I know how I want the middle to be, but would love to hear y'all's ideas about the other blocks...the middle is going to be the white fabric with saying....and I know I want to use 4.5" blocks and strips from the other material...got some ideas of my own but wanted to hear some of y'all's ideas.....

    I think it depends if you want to do something simple or more complicated. I love the look of rail fences. Good Luck.
    A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

    Thank you...rail fences is a very good idea....I love that pattern too.... It's gonna be a queen size and I'm making it all by hand , so it needs to be simple..... :-)

    This fabric reminds me of the first quilt I started. It was a yellow brick road. My latest, but oldest, quilt - put on your sunglasses!

    I like the idea of Warm Wishes. Possibly the focus blocks could be the light fabric with the red and blue star fabrics in stripes and the flag fabric as the middle stripe.
    One step at a time, always forward.
