Ideas for pattern for fat quarter bundle
I got a Savonnerie bundle for my birthday. Beautiful, but more "formal" than the fabrics I have been using. It will be my fifth quilt and I have at least some technique under my belt from having taken pretty challenging beginner & intermediate classes. Don't think I'm ready for a great deal of appliqué, and I still tend to get frustrated with lots of Y seaming. What pattern would you use with this beautiful fabric?

I google the FQ bundle to see what it looks like. Here is a thread here on the site with a pretty quilt that may look nice with that bundle. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t160415.html It is a bit more of a causal quilt. Not sure what your looking for. Good luck.
http://www.modabakeshop.com/ Here's a site that has a lot of free patterns. Maybe you'll find some inspiration here.https://www.google.com/search?q=moda...w=1301&bih=612 |
Here is a link to a picture of the fabrics. I have no idea either as what to do with it.

That is beautiful, would love to have that collection. No, wait, I'm trying to clear fabric out, not buy more:D

Check out www.sweettreat.com They specialize in FQ bundles and have lots of patterns that use 8 FQs and some yardage. Also, google "wickedly easy quilt".

Once I had a FQ bundle that was pretty, but too formal for my style. I used the least formal approach - I cut the FQs into 9" squares and made a rag quilt. It is still my family's favorite quilt. I used natural muslin for the back squares and I used 8" squares of scrap batting in between. You can use the squares to practice FMQ or quilt a simple X. Join them with 1/2" seam, with the seam showing on the right side of the quilt. Cut the seams 1/4 to 3/8" deep about 1/2" apart. The more you wash your quilt the raggier it will look - totally informal, with formal fabric. My kind of quilt.

Love your fabrics. How about something like one of these. I have the Dora pattern if interested.

Any of the Turning Twenty patterns would be great:

Maybe a churn dash. Did you see this one?
