Pattern Suggestions?
 
I bought a bundle of 5 one-yard fabrics today. I am a pretty new quilter so I don't have a lot of patterns. Can someone suggest a pattern to use these fabrics. There are 3, a navy, a green, and a medium blue that would present as solid, a blue and white print and a yellow print that has all the other colors plus pinks.

I would post a picture but I dont see the option.

Jenny Doan has many YouTube videos of quilt tutorials for the Missouri Star Quilt Co. Another good site to visit is Bonnie Hunter's site at www.quiltville.blogspot.ca and click on the Free Pattern tab.

I can't help you with posting a photo, but I can welcome you from the beautiful mountains of western NC.

I would also recommend Missouri Star Quilt patterns. Very quick and easy.

go to pinterest for ideas. also just google quilt patterns (be prepared to spend a lot of time, there are thousands!). If you see a pattern you want to try, print it out (enlarge to whatever size) and cut out the pieces. Recut them with a seam allowance and play with it on a scrap piece. You can play with graph paper to figure out how much you want. And, of course, there are hundreds of companies that sell patterns. You might want to stay with some of the well known 'easy for beginners' patterns and companies until you feel a bit comfortable. By that, I mean the patterns from companies like Missouri Star Quilt Company and Quilt in a Day often have you tube videos of their patterns so you can watch them make then and explain the challenges.

Also, Quilt in a Day, Eleanor Burns, has many tutorials. There really is unlimited quilt info out there now. I'm sure you will find something to inspire you.
