Large scale print block
I have a beautiful length of fabric that has bouquets of hydrangeas. The bouquet design measures 8.5 inches square. I don't want to just cut blocks and sash them together, I would like the design to be complemented in a patchwork block. If anyone has a pattern for a block or whole quilt using a big block I would like to see it. I am happy to purchase a pattern if anyone can direct me to one.

Warm Wishes is available free online. Turning Twenty has a 10 inch square in each block. It isn't available free, but you could google is to see if you like it. TT is typically done with lots of different fabrics, but I've always thought it is pretty with fewer.

I bookmarked this one for the exact same purpose. The measurements are different, this block finishes at 9", but you can always tweak it to enlarge it.

For a more modern quilt, I saw this today and just love it. It is perfect for a large print. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t231790.html

I like the one Peckish posted. I have these two saved for a similar fabric.
