I tend to make quilts out of tone on tone, small print type fabrics in a rainbow of colors. I am trying to expand my horizons and use more prints. I fell in love with Robin Pickens fabric lines such as Abby Rose, Blushing Peonies, Sweet Pea and Lily. ( I would be most likely to use her Thatched line of fabric for making quilts)! I use EQ 8 extensively, and have downloaded the fabric to use in designing quilts, but have had no success in creating something I love. The fabric lines have an excellent range of fabric, in multiple color stories. But the bigger florals (which I love) seem hard to work into a block. There is a pattern with the Abby Rose line that I like, but I want to learn how design quilts/blocks that work well with prints and florals and larger scales.
What type of blocks work best for these types of prints? What quilt or block designing rules or tips can you share?
