as I said, I need a pattern first:)

I am going to use 12" blocks - thanks for the input. I think I'll use chocolate brown sashing and light blue corner stones. The coordinate can be a border between the piano keys. I just have to go get more quitar fabric - 2 yards isn't quite enough for a x-long twin that goes over the sides:)
Enjoy your day!
Enjoy your day!

I am pretty much a newbie so don't really have any pattern suggestions. But as a parent of teenage boys(now in there twenties but still boys ;)) I think the material is super. And that guitar material will be important to him. So maybe something with really big blocks to showcase that material. You could maybe even stitch around the guitars to make them standout when you quilt it. You have my mind working now. One son loves his rocking music and that material would make him a happy quilt guy. Have fun!

I think I have seen fabric that looks like piano keys. That would save a piecing step! how about Warm Wishes?
