A bargello would work well or a trip around the world pattern.

No pattern suggestions, but those sure are beautiful!

I didn't know Hoffman made 7" squares available. Is this something new?

I bet you could adapt the blooming 9-patch pattern to what you described (colours blending into each other). Although a 9-patch isn't an ideal block for a 7" square as a starting point.

I'd cut each one in quarters so that I had 3 1/2" squares and do a Twister and have the colors move in and out in a gradation of color. A Trip Around The Wirld would be nice to move the colors in and out as well or a Bargello.

Check Jinny Beyer's website for free patterns featuring gradations.

Actually it is, if you cut it into 4 pieces you have 3-1/2" squares - perfect for a 9" 9Patch.

You really got some beautiful blocks.

What about doing a French Braid. That would be beautiful in those colors.

costume girl - your description of rippling water sounds just like what I would love to make. I'm very drawn to quilts in which the colours blend so well that by the time the change is really noticeable there have been several gradations between. |
