Yes, it has similarities, but there are more sizes of rectangles in Bailey's quilt. Here is one I made a few years ago.

Gorgeous fabric and I wish I could help you! Unfortunately I'm having the same problem with her "horse" fabric! I will check back to see what ideas you may get.

I also love Laurel Burch fabrics. Gorgeous prints, very nice fabric! It's so easy to iron because it barely wrinkles!

You should keep a large enough block in mind so you don't cut up all the pretty seahorses!

I made a quilt with different sealife prints (Hoffman I think) and I love how it came out. I used a large square for the focal fabrics, and 9-patch blocks for the other fabrics, a simple sashing and coordinating outer border. Here's a pic of mine.

What about tumbling squares from Missouri Quilting. There is a tutorial on the website.

Beautiful fabric. Two patterns I like to showcase fabric are the Snowball/9 patch and the puzzle quilt. Good luck with this quilt.

Sorry, I should have read a couple more lines, Twinkie. Great minds think alike!
