It's going to be a beautiful quilt. How about a square of focus fabric, surrounded by wonky log cabin, so that the blocks aren't straight, but a little wonky. I think that would be really neat.

I'm sure you will find answers here and when it all comes together you will probably quilt like a maniac.

What about a Disappearing 9P or a 4 to 9 patch? Both are simple but look complex and they both look great with large prints. If you did the 4 to 9 patch, you could make your 4 patches with the doggie and blue material together and the red and yellow together in your blocks then alternate their placement to create a diagonal pattern. I did this starting out with 5" squares - fast, easy and looked great!

My fabric has fairly large prints...HELP
attached are the materials I have so far BQ with large block [ATTACH=CONFIG]70180[/ATTACH] |
I think the doggie fabric would look good as the center block in the Warm Wishes quilt. I'd made a Warm Wishes quilt with ABC's in the middle and looked great. your 2 fabs on the left would look good on the logs of Warm Wishes with the yellow in the midle of the log.
I think you've got your quilt planned. (Or I do Heh heh) fabric_lover |

How about the Disappearing Nine Patch pattern. This blog shows a tutorial: http://quiltsatcs.blogspot.com/2007/...-tutorial.html
Also, see pics of three I made from the same fabric. Use a focus fabric in the corner of the 9 patch and it doesn't get cut up. 3 different quilts from same fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]70108[/ATTACH] |
One thing I notice there isn't much contrast in your fabrics. I try to use a light, medium and dark and vary to size of the print

A Disappearing Nine Patch would be great out of that fabric.
