Since I don't know what pattern you have rejected..... it would be very hard to suggest another one..... plus we all like different things, have different design styles and just need different things to make us happy. My suggestion would be to go to a good quilt shop and ask for a little advise.

There are many here that will help you along in the process..... just have fun. It's your 1st quilt? Don't get discouraged so you'll want to make many more.

And..... WELCOME!!

Jenny Doan's Window Pane 9 Pattern might be a good one. A solid pane would look great with the fabulous prints!

What about the ten minute block? Find another print - preferably solid and use it for the center.

Beautiful fabrics individually and I think you need a "pop" fabric to really show them off. If you choose to do a D9P, then a solid lime or even a black or a white would look nice in the center square and bring it all together. The most important thing is that you should have fun!

Love the fabrics! Welcome from PA
Depending on how much fabric you have I would definitely use the wavy piece for a border. The long wavy lines create lots of motion and graceful softness.

As far as a pattern. You will have to discover that on your own, I am no help there.

Your fabric is beautiful! It might look good in a Take Five pattern? You would need to add one more fabric. It is a pattern you would have to buy though, or I don't think it is available as a free download.

Let me see if I can find a picture of one of mine, in case it is a look you might like. Okay, here is one. It is an easy pattern to do, similar to Yellow Brick Road or Two Slice Layer Cake. In fact, I will add a Two Slice Layer Cake picture too. It is available free from Missouri Star. It is make from a layer cake, but the one I have is just from five fabrics.

Maybe one of these would appeal to you...

I love the fabrics and I'm sure you will choose something beautiful. I don't have any ideas for you, but I'd love to see the finished product! Good luck!

Gorgeous colors! I'd make dresdens out of them, but then I like to make dresdens out of just about anything. Seriously, by alternating the blades and the placement I believe you could do a beautiful quilt.
