What would you do with this fabric?
2 Attachment(s)
I have an idea in my head, but thought I would consult the experts, lol. I am making a raffle quilt (or two, time permitting) for the VW Bug club my husband and I belong to. This fabric was donated to the club by someone I don't know how long ago, and it was given to me to make the quilt from. I would like to do something that looks kind of traditional in a beginner/light intermediate skill level that doesn't take too long. I was thinking the size of a stadium throw for time's sake as the event is in September. Any pattern ideas? The Gina does not like to applique but she doesn't mind to fussy-cut. Thanks in advance for your ideas, and as always I love looking at everyone's pics!

fussy cut the cars and make stare blocks with the fussy cut cars in the center and use it for borders as well.

I love the BQ pattern (scroll down) but there are probably some other patterns here that would work too

I made this quilt a long time ago out of the car fabric, I picky cut the cars. If you want the name of the book it was in let me know and I will find it.

A quick and easy pattern is Take Two. Just google "Take Two Quilt pattern". I am currently making that pattern using a large patterned fall themed print and a single color batik for the side pieces. I will be putting a narrow black border and than a wider border of the print around it for more size.

yes fussy cut it... or find a pattern that would show case big pieces of fabric
|
Warm Wishes works for fussy cut squares too.
