Need help with picking pattern
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, I'm having a mental block about figuring out a pattern for a throw quilt using this fabric. I have a fat quarter bundle and layer cake of this collection. Also, I have some yardage of two of the lightest tan fabrics in the collection for background if needed. I'm looking for a controlled scrappy pattern that I could make that uses all the fabrics. I have intermediate skill level. I normally use batiks for my quilts and that might be why I am stymied. I'd like to produce something with more of a modern look. Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

How about Turning Twenty?

How about Tula Pink's City Sampler?

I was also thinking a sampler of blocks you like to make or want to try. Then the yardage for borders and sashing.

Maybe friendship braids would work, log cabins, disappearing 9 patch? Bargello?

Donna Jordan has a super cool disappearing 4 patch that would be fun in those colors. It's not really intermediate, but it would be fun.

Jenny Doan's Double Slice is a nice way to combine a lot of fabrics.

You could just play with them until you find an arrangement you like. Very pretty colors.

A friend recently made a large carpenter's star quilt out of a layer cake that looks modern. The squares finished at 10". I think Moda had a pattern for one in various sizes on its website last year.

I vote for a version of Turning Twenty. One of the best scrappy patterns ever written.
