I would cut the pieces apart and do this with them, using the Maxine squares where she has the blue squares.

At our last quilt retreat everyone was making pillow cases out of that fabric. They were really fun.

Hi Tinliz, Loretta and everyone,

Loretta thank you so much for replying with this block pattern. I saw a new quilter use this pattern for her first quilt several years ago. She did it using scrappy prints in country colors with creme stars. It was beautiful. The pattern she used was in an older magazine. I've been looking for this pattern ever since but I didn't know the name of it to search for it.

Have a Great Quilty Day!

I would make a wall hanging for my studio and a red arrow that I could attach to the proper square that warns people of my threat level each day. ROFL

Thanks for all the good ideas. ((HUGS)) to all of you. The only problem I have with this board is that I spend too much time here.:) Only sorry I did not find you a year ago when the only time I got out was to go to the doctor.

I am thinking a wall-hanging for my kitchen/sewing room. It would sure cheer the place up and I would still have a lot of fabric left to use for friends and smaller projects.

Maxine is a Robert Kaufman fabric.
