Hi all,
I want to try a small quilt with this kind of block (every person calls it different) i see them the same :oops: , and i would like your opinions about what kind of fabric print is best for it. I have been to Joanns and other LQS but i get more confused every time, and from my understanding the larger the repeat the more fabric i need, so i don't really like the idea of wasting 5 yards of fabric for failure :-( .
Please help...any ideas would be appreciated even pics of fabric would be great ( I am a visual person).
Thanks in advance

You won't need as much fabric if you fussy cut a specific motif.
For the more popular methods however, you want your repeat as close as possible but still enough different elements in the fabric to make each block stand apart.
