I want to make my grandmother a lap quilt. I have found fabrics that I forgot about in my stash. She loves birds, so when I was digging around and ran across hummingbird fabric I knew it was for her. It's really pretty it has humming birds all over with plenty of flowers. I have pink and blue fabric to go with it.
I don't want to do an attic window, last time it didn't turn out so well. I am not ready for that again. I would just like some simple block ideas. thanks in advance |
Rail fence would be very pretty, and it would work up quickly and easily.

My choices for something simple that will show off a fabric are usually a rail fence, D9P, or Irish chain.

snowball is always good. you can put the hummingbirds in the center and use the blues and pinks in the corners.

I like the snowball also because it gives you a large piece of your print in the middle, rail fence would be nice also

How about friendship star or Austin from quilter's cache. Any of the stars like Austin would look great. I love the disappearing nine patch too.

Churn Dash or the good old basic nine patch
or an uneven nine patch - has a large square in the middle and smaller pieces around it - small squares in the corners and rectangles on the middle edges |
