Could some of you post pictures of EASY quilts you have made for hubby using John Deere fabrics? My DH asked me today where his quilt was. I just finished one for our granddaughter so guess he should be next on my long list of "to do quilts". I've had fabric for almost a year but seem to make other things instead of his.

What fabric will you be using?
|
If you're going to the trouble to use John Deere fabrics, to me the pattern should showcase that.
I would make 8" blocks of the JD fabric, and sash them with a narrow yellow strip. Then use green sashing between the blocks and for the border. |
Guess I better try taking a picture of my fabrics tomorrow so you can give me better ideas. I can do 9-patches and blocks but haven't tried much other than rectangles and half sq triangles. I'm still learning you see.

Shhh don't tell the border is a corner to corner cut 9 patch. Had way more blenders than JD, tried to match the JD green with a no go, so a lot of fussy cut came into play, the season pieces were not square, so neither could the 9 patches, in the body thats why almost square :)
Clear as mud :) |

This is one I made for my husband's uncle.

Do a rail fence with the print fabric as the wide strip.

I really like that quilt!
