I'm going to do a child's quilt with "Cat in the Hat" theme. Are there any suggestions for an easy pattern that would use red, white, and aqua/blue main theme? Appreciate any suggestions 8-)

I have seen many baby quilts lately (and have done quite a few myself) with alternating 9patch and large focus fabric squares. Does this make sense? In other words, make 9 patches with your complementary fabrics, then cut cat in the hat blocks the same size. Alternate them, add borders if desired, and viola.. done! :thumbup:
I hope this makes sense, and gives you at least one idea!

Warm Wishes is a great and quick pattern. Looks harder than it is! You can find the pattern free as a download from Quiltmaker. They used it as a Linus pattern one year.

I do have the fabrics, however, I am technically challenged and don't know how to post pictures. :( I have been looking and like the 9 patch idea with a focal and may experiment with a 4 fabric DNP also.
Thank you
