OK....I have these 3 fabrics that I really like...they were on sale. This is the first time that I have bought fabric when I wasn't buying for a specific class or project. Remember I am REALLY new...just started in July. Now I have this fabric but don't know what to do with it...LOL! Anyway, I have 3 yards of all 3 fabrics so I need a pattern that uses three fabrics and about the same amount of each. I did a bunch of searching but it kept going to stuff like "3 fabrics on sale", etc. I posted pics of fabric below.
Thanks for your help!!

OH MY. Love your fabrics. You can always add some pinks or greens when you find a pattern that you like. Keep us posted on your search for the perfect pattern.

what about a 9 patch ?

donnajean 10-24-2010 04:09 PM

Great fabrics. Where was the sale? I could use those colors. I will keep an eye out for a suitable pattern.

I vote for a D9P so easy and so complicated looking!

That was the one I thought about too. I don't know how to do one yet but I watched someone go through the steps and it was mesmerizing. It looked so easy and so pretty when done.

Rail Fence works for 3 fabrics.

Or a 4 patch with 2 fabrics, alternating with a square of 3rd fabric.

Or pinwheels with a light & dark, alternating with the 3rd fabric.

whatever you choose, please post pics as you move along

Your fabrics are beautiful, but I would include a few more pieces. How about some solid or marbled green?

What about using the very dark with the white for a 2 color block and use the black with the flowers as a border?

Beautiful fabrics, can't help with a pattern tho, i'm to new, i still have a hard time picking, but there are lots of people here to help you.

Yummy! Sorry, a pattern just doesn't come to mind for these. I would also add a pink and green to the mix to give you another light and medium....

Its beautiful fabric!

Yellow Brick road would be AWESOME!! in these fabrics! And it is a great beginner quilt. If you mess up and cut a square too small, just add another square to the block and make it work! :)

I would do a rail fence, then for borders....a narrow green to match the leaves, then a larger pink outer border.

THANK YOU all for your help!!

I found this quilt while looking through. It's called a "Squares Within Squares 2":

How do ya'll think it would work?

Elanor Burns Quilt In A Day Split Rail Fence maybe or a nine patch. Very pretty fabrics.

quilterella 10-25-2010 11:52 PM

I think that would be beautiful, but you may need to get a solid colour to enhance what you already have and you could use the one black with pink for the border to tie it all together.
