I made a precious tote bag for my Mom with these fabrics. It's hard to describe, but I did use the color blocks with words in them as the band around the top. Will try to get a pic. of the bag and post it.

Thanks for your input!

I like Charmy's quilt and I like the idea of the Attic Windows pattern for your cute fabric. The purse is great, too. Maybe you have enough fabric for all of the above???

Cute fabric. Maybe a disappearing nine patch?

Wow, that is beautiful! Did you purchase a pattern or is it something you found free on the internet?
it's a pattern by Quilts Illustrated it costs about $8.
I'll have to look into it. Would you be OK if I copied your fabric placement? I just love it.
that would be fine. : )

The Michael Miller website used to have a bunch of free patterns for D&J fabric. If you go there and search by group (top of page) look under Dick and Jane and thre will be a rotating series of pictures of ideas. Don't know if all of those patterns are still available.
