Ideas for a Fast and Fabulous Quilt Needed
 

Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to sew through all my fabric before I'm dead - not that I'm dying, but it isn't doing anyone any good sitting in a bin or on a shelf.
So, do you have any ideas for a really fast pattern using these four fabrics? You can get an idea of the scale by the marks on the cutting board.

Warm Wishes is fast and could be made beautifully with those fabrics, IMO. The pattern is free on-line. I'd use the large print for the squares and the smaller print for the middle rectangle. You can make it any size you want. And it's strip-pieced so it's fast.

I'm thinking a disappearing 4-patch, with the duck squares being uncut. If you scale everything to the size of those squares, I think you'll like what you get. Depending on how much fabric you have, the geese would make a great backing for a duck quilt.

Warm wishes also came to my mind.

Your fabric is beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing your completed quilt.

how about falling charms with the print as the charms
luv the geese

Keep the ideas coming. I'm not too sure about any of the suggestions ... YET. Maybe I'll make some blocks of each and see what happens.

What great fabric! It will be fun, whatever you decide.

I am thinking a log cabin with the charms as the center, one side ligh blue and one side dark blue. Duck all over fabric for wide border.

This is what I was thinking. If you had some browns and tans you could add those to the log cabin sides.

I like that idea! cutting up the fabric with the ducks would not be fun to see!

BQ by Maple Island Quilts is a really quick pattern. http://mapleislandquilts.com/miq-patterns/bq-nation/ I haven't made any other than the first one, but it would be my go to pattern for a quick quilt with a minimum of fabrics. I made this one for my brother in law who was going through cancer treatments.

Barb, I also thought of the BQ quilt patterns. All are very striking with a larger print, and look more complicated than they actually are to make. Krystyna, please post a picture of your finished quilt, so we can see it. Love the colors in your fabrics!!

Take Five is my go to for fast. You'd need one more fabric, but with trying to get some of your stashe used, that would be a good thing, right?

Krystyna - I'm actually where you are in life about using up fabric before I leave this world. I don't want anyone else having to deal with my quilting stash. I'm finishing up my 9th quilt this year and gifting them all to nieces, nephews, gifts, etc. Patterns I've done are disappearing nine patch, race quilts and squares. They are all scrappy and I really like how they have all turned out. I FMQ my own quilts so it doesn't cost that much and my stash is going down. I also use what I have for backings by piecing. I'm having fun and I like the pattern suggested above. Good luck.

Take a look at a pattern called Crazy Eights...it makes a fast quilt. Must say that I love the duck stamp material!! Where did you find that one?

Linda I am pretty sure I got it at Joann's when they had a 50% off Red Dot with a 20% off everything coupon. I have about 10 yards of the stuff! Crazy, isn't it?

Coopah, I think I will use this on my abundance of bear and moose fabrics!

Barb, we have a winner! The duck stamps will go where your prints are, the geese in ponds where the red is, and the flying geese where the blue is. I will use the dark blue where you have the red border. Thank you! I knew I could count on you guys! Off to buy the pattern!

Just about to suggest Warm Wishes, too. And I'd use it as Loisf suggests.

Beautiful fabric! It will make a gorgeous quilt, whatever you decide.

I would use the larger print in center or big blocks with the blue sashing, l ( light ), or use the larger print as a middle panel and then use the small print blocks with each blue on sides ,( dark blue, print block, lighter blue, dark blue, print block,light blue,etc.

I've made a couple of Warm Wishes quilts and they turn out to be really pretty. Pretty fabric, btw.

Hi Krystyna glad to see you posting again.

BQ1 is my favorite for a fast and impressive quilt, however; I have made them in lap size only.

Hi Louise! Time to get back to visiting with my quilting friends!

Really simple and fast could be a QAYG Row quilt

Kystyna, bear and moose fabrics would be great in this pattern, because even the small pieces are big enough to "see" the fabric. ;-)
I like the idea you came up with for the ducks and ponds, etc. Hope you'll share it when you're done!

all of them sound great but like the Warm Wishes idea and the log cabin if you make the center big enough to fussy cut it
