This is so interesting!
I arrived here at the board because I had a plan, a vision, of quilting a picture of a garden ... using English Paper Piecing because that's all I knew apart from a vague idea of American quilting from 'How to make an American Quilt' LOL!
Starting my journey led me to a fabric swap, and offering Scandinavian style fabrics to my swap partners ... and of course the fabrics are so pretty that I'm keeping a fat quarter of each for myself!
I thought about 4x 8" squares of each of these pretty fabrics and then mounting them somehow ... one idea was a log cabin arrangement of 4 strips in a toning plain fabric around each one ... which would have an effect rather like that 'hole in one' pattern, but with larger 'holes' ...
Are there any simple, squares and rectangles, type quilt patterns that would use four 8" squares each of various pretty fabrics, and fill-in frames or similar in other fabrics?
