How about a cathedral window with the fabric fussy cut.

Do you know anything about him other than he passed the bar? I think what I would do would be to use one of those lovely book fabrics as a backing and pull textured solid colors from that fabric to make a very classic, geometric and simple pieced front. Maybe something like a modern take on Flying Geese, or large half square triangles in a medallion arrangement. To my eye, those fabrics, while very nice, are just graphically too much when put together, and to cut and piece them would not add to their strength-- which is in whole cloth state. |
A great fabric but a little overpowering. How much fabric do you have? I
would fancy cut the law fabric and add other fabrics that compliment it. The book fabric you could perhaps use in some fashion in the backing. I would not use it on the front. |
What about a windowpane quilt? It would involve cutting the panel into pieces, but it would be so cute!
|
What about the pattern used in the quilt thread entitled "Les Grues"? It would really showcast the fabric.

All these creative ideas! I love how different people see all different ways of using an inspiration fabric. I would do a Warm Wishes pattern with cream and burgundy on the front, and a navy solid on the back. I'd use the second fabric some other place because, for me, the combination would be too busy.

I would use the law fabric uncut in the center, put a sashing of burgundy around it finishing about 1 to 1 1/2 inches then fussy cut the pens and the open book pages around the sides and possibly top and botton with sashing of black then add a final sashing of burgundy, about 3 inches. You could cut the law fabric to make the finished size what you want and you could alternate the black fabric to where the burgundy fabric and visa versa.

We have a young man in the family, who at 12 has already shown us he will be a brilliant man. This is what I made for him. I based the front colors on the book fabric which is the back and border.

BQ and BQ2 are great patterns to use with a large print but so is a popular charity quilt called Warm Wishes. I make the center block large to 8" finished when making a quilt for an adult. Pattern is free on the internet.

The BQ pattern is on a Nancy Zieman video and looks easy, and your could alternate the book fabrics on front and use left over on back so it is kind of reversible, depending on how much material you have.
