Thanks for the support and ideas everyone!!
Here are my fabrics. Bright and bold just like the grandkids. :D I just don't want to make it too busy with these "loud" fabrics. :shock:

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! :-)

No you are not the only person. Far from it. Especially with large prints I am always looking for inspiration and ideas that will incorperate the print yet not chop it up so much that the large print is totally lost. How about enlarging a star block (maybe to 15-24" or so) and using the big print as a center.

I have some adult daughters and I was making a quilt for one going off to college. Well the other got jealous so now I am making two quilts with the same fabric yet some slight differences in the color layout.
Go figure and they are of adult age. Like DH says better that they ask for quilts then that you only make quilts for the cat because no one likes them. It is kind of funny though. ~smile~

Too funny! Well, these girls are only 8 (one will be 9 in October), I can only guess how bad it will be when they reach their teenage years. :shock:
