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.

Maybe anything that would work with French Provincial would work????

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:
