Help choose a pattern for these fabrics
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have these fabrics but not sure the best pattern to use. I have a pattern in mind but want to see if someone might come up with a different one that I might like. I purposely don't want to say the name of the pattern I'm thinking about...would just like to see if something different pops into your mind. Thanks

The only thing I can think of is Falling Charms but I would most likely change from yellow to gray for the background.

Definitely need to use a solid or near solid to calm down the lively prints--that black or navy would work great. Very pretty fabric!

Actually, I was thinking of using the Disappearing 9 Patch - using the yellow as the middle fabric of the 9 patch - having it shown each block as a small square. Do you think that would work?

I was also thinking of a DP9, Pat. I think it would look great.

This might be interesting. You'd need another neutral, like grey.

How about a "Take 5"?

I have used three of those exact fabrics several times. I made a very large tote with the top fabric and to put inside made a small clutch using the solid yellow at the top and geometric print at the bottom...came out very cute. Also made a tote with large strips using same fabrics plus the large flowers as a lining. Makes great placemats too. You could do a large block quilt (cut as 10" layer cake)...hope this helps you. I love these colors together.

I just finished binding this one called Line of Fibs where I had busy prints... [ATTACH=CONFIG]543893[/ATTACH]
and used a solid for sashing

I think that "City Scapes" would be the best one for your fabrics, at least, that is the one I would choose.

How about Illusion with a white background and the yellow for the inner border. Do I have the name right? It's the one It's the one with rectangles that have shadows giving a 3-D look.

Magician's 9 Patch

I used these same colors to make a Magician's 9 Patch that one of our QB members did a fabulous tutorial on (slightlyoffquilter, I think? you can google her blog, it's great!) except I did some freehand embroideries in the corner blocks. Loved how it turned out and it was so easy to make following her instructions. It's essentially a D9Px2 with big blocks and came together quickly.

I was thinking about a Disappearing 9 patch using the yellow as the centers. Then a small framing border of yellow and a wider black border. If you have enough fabric, maybe use the scraps to make a multi-color binding. I would probably add a couple grey tonals and maybe a very small print black.

Oops
 
I meant a DP9 in a 9 patch, not x2. Clearly there wasn't enough coffee today! :shock:
