I recently made a purchase of about 9 yards of a 1988 large floral print. Love the colors but not so much the print...its dated.
thought of doing a whack and stack or kaleidescope pattern but would like advice on anything else that would work with a repeat pattern to bring out the colors in a rearranged way! Wondered about strips.
thanks for all you wisdom.

The most charming quilts are some of the old and/or antique ones. Strippy quilts with some pieced strips are pretty.
Have you checked out the quilts on University of Nebraska quilt index. If I go there it is an hour before I realize the time. History quilts of all types.
