I have the fabric for my two oldest grandkids (girls) quilts. I want to make them with the same fabric but mix them up a bit. (The same but different)

Here's my problem.......I don't have the pattern. DUH! One of the fabric's (they are a grouping) is a rather large print so I feel it needs to be a large block. I could use the same pattern I did with my daughter's green quilt but I wanted to do a different one. And for sure a young look.

Am I the only person that knows they want to make a quilt, has the fabric, and can't decide on a pattern. I feel like a dope! :-)

You are not alone! Check out the Warm Wishes pattern and see if it will work for you.

Did several small ones once with one common fabric for little cousins, highlighted different colors in each, same base color w/mostly pink as secondary (irish chain) same base color w/mostly yellow as secondary (zig zig) so all ended up with the one common faabric in all. Didn't work well with the boys as they were smiling sunflowers.
You can do it!! :)
