My idea would be either a stack and whack fan or fussy cut triangular shapes at 60 degrees and put them together. If you wonder about either of these, look them up online to get a visual. Neither of them are too hard and are stunning when done. Have fun, whatever you do!

I would look into Jinny Bayer instructions. she uses fabrics like that and turns the most beautiful quilts just by knowing where to cut. I will search some more and post again if I find it.

In the video the designer used border fabrics, but I believe your fabric calls for that style.

you could also do a fussy cut block with that red fabric

Hey Girls, She's just a beginner and starting off with diamonds may be too much for her. lol

I agree that for a beginner with those fabrics, this would be a great beginning pattern to do. Very easy, but it would be very striking looking.

I didn't find that pattern number on that page. What is the title of the pattern?

Try this web site for some different blocks that you might be interested in These blocks are free to download. The Quilter's Cache I love her patterns and you might get an idea there of something you would like to use.

BQ2 is the 9th one down from the top at

I think this would be beautiful using the BQ1 or BQ2 pattern. Fussy cut the beautiful red piece and use your other two colors for the borders. It is an easy pattern to work with, I have made the 4 stack posie and do not suggest it for a beginner. Hope this helps!
