Great buy! You've got some fun fabrics to work with.

And you've hit on what is my biggest problem in quiltmaking: how to use fabric I've fallen in love with! I have a hard time deciding on patterns....or I should say ideas, since I don't buy or use patterns, but just figure out blocks from quilts I see. Right now I'm struggling with how to use a striped fabric that matches my bedroom curtains (actually fabric left over when I cut the curtains from sill length to a valance). I'd love to make the disappearing pinwheel churndash, or whatever that is, but don't think this block will work well with stripes. I may resort to warm wishes or rail fence or some variation on a simple 9 patch, or maybe an Irish chain, which I've always wanted to make.
