Need Quilt Ideas
 

Hi Everyone!
I am trying to come up with an idea to make a quilt with the pictured fabric. It is for a friend of my brother, I have never met the man but he has been such a friend to my brother and he just found out he has stage 4 esophagus cancer. I have this flannel and want to make him a cozy lap quilt but am at a loss for a pattern. Do you think these fabrics go ok together or should I just use 3 of them? Any ideas? I would like an easy one as I dont know how much time he has left. Thanks ahead of time for the ideas. God Bless!

Warm Wishes

Warm Wishes is a free pattern. I would cut the focus square to be 8" and use the rest of the sizes as is. You could also use a BQ or BQ2 pattern using only three fabrics.

Thanks so much :) I thought Audrey B was wishing him warm wishes I did not realize it was the name of the quilt! I love the quilt ideas and am going to get started tonight on it. Thanks again so much!

Well the name of the pattern is quite appropriate too, isn't it. :) If you don't have a site for the pattern, here is one.

Or you might like Square Within a Square 2.

Here is a better color selection of the Warm Wishes pattern:

I purchased the three fabrics on the right to make a rail fence quilt for my brother. I had purchased raiders fabric as well as that's his team.

But then the mystery train #7 rolled in and I added the two fabrics to the left as well and ended up making the mystery train #7 quilt.

This quilt was pretty easy to do and the directions are still on the board here. And I used the raiders fabric as backing.

Beautiful quilt!!

The BQ pattern would work great as you would have large squares for the logo fabric, the dark for the "lines" and the light background.
