    My idea would be either a stack and whack fan or fussy cut triangular shapes at 60 degrees and put them together. If you wonder about either of these, look them up online to get a visual. Neither of them are too hard and are stunning when done. Have fun, whatever you do!

    I would look into Jinny Bayer instructions. she uses fabrics like that and turns the most beautiful quilts just by knowing where to cut. I will search some more and post again if I find it.

    You can check this out:

    In the video the designer used border fabrics, but I believe your fabric calls for that style.

    I didn't find that pattern number on that page. What is the title of the pattern?

    Try this web site for some different blocks that you might be interested in These blocks are free to download. The Quilter's Cache I love her patterns and you might get an idea there of something you would like to use.

    I think this would be beautiful using the BQ1 or BQ2 pattern. Fussy cut the beautiful red piece and use your other two colors for the borders. It is an easy pattern to work with, I have made the 4 stack posie and do not suggest it for a beginner. Hope this helps!
