A stack in whack might be very interesting. You could make all sorts a quilts. He's a keeper!

WOW what a great DH!!! Maybe think of doing this in smaller pieces and use some solids to set it off? Hmmmmm it is pretty.

Had to look for that old song... here's a link on youtube, maybe watching it might give you a few ideas as well.

Aquarius fabric!!

And, not only that, but he said, "I don't know how much yardage goes into a big quilt, but I got you 8 yards. Hope that's enough."

With that much fabric, I think with some of it , I'd do a stack n whack. I'm sure you have enough fabric to do more than one project.

So... what would you make with it??

Figure out the size quilt you want and then take what you need for backing and use the rest in the front of the quilt of a pattern you like. Then you can turn it around and use both sides.

Stack and Whack is what came to mind and I'm sure you'll have plenty to use in the back. It's a gorgeous tone of green. Have fun and bless your DH, he is a keeper.

Depends on how much yardage he is sending as to what you can make. I would think this pattern is good for most any kind of quilt pattern. Love it - any Virgo out there???
