Debrak,
That is a great idea. http://www.maryquilts.com/half-log-cabin/ I would make super size squares with borders and cut it 1/4s. I did that with butterfly glass with thin strips of black between colors. Started with a 7 or 71/2' square. [ATTACH=CONFIG]363837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]363839[/ATTACH] 1 cut vertical and 1 horizontal makes four squares. |
There used to be a lot of posts regarding the BQ pattern, you said you had a large print. This is a great pattern for that and you could then showcase some beautiful quilting. Look for the patterns at http://www.mapleislandquilts.com
She actually has 3 different BQ patterns now. |

The trouble with warm wishes is: it uses only two fabrics. That probably means shopping. You want to use what you have. I really like the idea for making half log cabin blocks by starting with a larger center, putting on strips all around and then cutting it in quarters. What a wonderful idea.

I have always liked the Take 5 quilt - by adding 12" blocks you can make it as large as you like. The pattern calls for 5 fabrics; 5/8 yard each for lap size. I have used as many as 15 different coordinating fabrics for a queen size. Can make it with or without borders.

I have the Warm Wishes pattern on my list of quilts to eventually make. Would that work for you? Good luck with having to make not one but two quilts by October. Yikes!

I like this idea. Thanks!
|
lovely choice.
|
DebraK, thank you for the beautiful idea for a quick quilt. I love the colors and can imagine it in other combinations. A good choice for this thread. I have printed out the pattern and put it in my "to do" binder.

Of course we want pictures of the quilts when they're completed. :)
