Need a pattern for this fabric

I have spent the last week organizing and I found these fat quarters and I am at a loss as to what would be a good pattern for it. So who better to ask than all the talented quilters here; there are 18 fat quarters, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

WOW!! Aren't you lucky. Those are the prints I am always looking for to make Foster kids quilts out here in Southern CA. I would made a Disappearing 9 patch. Whatever you make, it is going to be delicious with all those bright prints. Have Fun !! If there are any scraps left over when you finsih, I would be delighted to make a deal with you !!

kareno 07-19-2013 11:02 AM

Those are great! I definitely see a kids quilt in there. or just use the others for a bright wall hanging or table runner. Love it! Keep us posted

Lori S 07-19-2013 11:09 AM

I would suggest Yellow Brick Road. Its a pattern specifically for lots of fat 1/4's.

klgls 07-19-2013 11:20 AM

I love pinwheels out of bright fabrics! Have fun!

Jennalyn 07-19-2013 11:23 AM

Those are beautiful and bright! They'd be super-cute in the DinoMite pattern. (On my bucket list for a bright quilt.) Instead of a center panel, you could do squares easily.

Or if you just want something simple and cute, a Plus Quilt is easy.

can't go wrong with pinwheels ;-)

sahm4605 07-19-2013 11:56 AM

maybe cut squares or rectangles out of the animals and pinwheels out of the others. it will be wonderful whatever you make.

Annaquilts 07-19-2013 12:15 PM

I would make a drunkards path with those happy colors.

Tartan 07-19-2013 12:22 PM

My daughter made the Falling Charms top by MSQC out of an assortment of charms. It turned out really cute.

AlienQuilter 07-19-2013 12:30 PM

I also vote for the disappearing 9 patch. Make sure only the small print winds up in the center squares since they get chopped up.

If you add 2 more fat quarters you could do a turning twenty. http://www.google.com/search?q=quilt...CY7O9gTmpYC4DA

Looks like it would make a nice Scrappy Trip Around the World. See Bonnie Hunter's site at quiltville.com.

Mkotch 07-20-2013 02:54 AM

A "Bento Box" would be fun with these.

nananurse 07-20-2013 03:08 AM

Pinwheels or something else with triangles.

honeybea 07-20-2013 04:09 AM

I would make a Dresden Plate. Let us know how you make out and send us pictures when your done..Bea Also... Buffmama showed some lovely TT quilts 4/28/2011 post #9....Check it out.

jclinganrey 07-20-2013 04:16 AM

How about a cute Bento Box? Nice & bright.

Jane

alisonquilts 07-20-2013 04:27 AM

How about a jar quilt?

Alison

Cris 07-20-2013 05:05 AM

How about Wickedly Easy Quilts by Annie - free pattern when you go to www.byannie.com and the pattern uses fat quarters.

BeckySt 07-20-2013 05:46 AM

I would add white as the background and make a chevron. There are quite a few freebies online buy searching chevron quilt patterns.

duckydo 07-20-2013 07:28 AM

Those would make a beautiful dresden plate quilt with either a white or black background...

IBQUILTIN 07-20-2013 07:43 AM

Fractions would work up really cute with those fabrics

Friday1961 07-20-2013 09:09 AM

No suggestions, I'm afraid, but those are really pretty fat quarters!

crafty pat 07-20-2013 09:28 AM

The latest The Quilter magazine has Fat quarters fun. You might fins something you like there. They have patterns for quilt's, table runners. pillows and even a apron.

flawhoopi 07-20-2013 09:30 AM

Lucky you!
I see fish, very colorful fish. Like what you see on Sindy Rodenmayer, http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/boms.html

MargeD 07-20-2013 09:40 AM

Wow, lucky find. I see a bright kid's quilt in any number of patterns. Have fun with those fabrics.

Maple Island Quilts has a pattern called Stackables 2 that is for fat quarters. I have one on the design wall in "male" fabrics and I am going to make another using kid fabrics. It's fun and showcases the fabric. I know the picture doesn't show it well, I am hoping to have the top finished this weekend.

Rose S. 07-20-2013 10:28 AM

I was thinking Falling Charms, too...then someone mentioned the Yellow Brick Road...then pinwheels...all would look great in these fabs. And I have only read the first page of comments!

Momala24 07-20-2013 04:45 PM

The Cheese and Crackers pattern by Atkinson designs would look stellar with this fabric plus a light background. I've made a couple of them and they turn out beautifully.

nonnie60 07-20-2013 07:54 PM

Tradewinds by Cozy quilts would look awesome.

quilter824 07-21-2013 09:45 AM

take a look at
Fanfare by Deb Tucker

mrs. fitz 07-21-2013 10:58 AM

Yellow Brick Road or Turning Twenty would show off those pretty fabrics.

KyKaren1949 07-21-2013 11:53 AM

I think these would be great in a Turning Twenty or Yellow Brick Road pattern. I have the Yellow Brick Road pattern if you need it.

My time 07-21-2013 01:26 PM

Can't go wrong with pinwheels but you know what would be great...jigsaw puzzle quilt.

Sandi 07-21-2013 08:39 PM

Boy I LOVE this quilt. Thank you for posting it!

Maybe add one more marine print or solid to use as sashing and keep simple shapes---------maybe just half of a fat quarter-----------11 x 18 or half of that 11 x 9
