So...I think I have finally collected enough sewing themed fabric (though I know as soon as I cut the pieces I'll find some I just "Have-To-Have"). But since I am new to quilting I have no idea what pattern to do or even what most of them are called! I was thinking maybe a "Disappearing 9 Patch" (I think that's what its called!) since I love the look of kwhite's so much and I think it would be a good choice for a second quilt since it doesn't look too difficult. What do we think? Oh, and I got this wonderful sheep knitting sweaters fabric but don't know what to do with it either.....knitting project bag? pajamas? pillowcases?

I love your fabrics. I think PJs made out of the knitting sheep fabric would be adorable and fun to wear. :)

Super cute fabrics. If you have enough sheep fabric I would make pj's and a bag, if not then I vote for pj's. As for your design, it will look nice as a D9P, since your new to quilting you may like the tutorials section on this board. I agree post pics when your done, part of the fun is seeing what we all make. Have fun!

Very nice fabrics. I would make something for the sewing fabrics to stand out.

Great fabrics. A DNP would be great. Can't wait to see what you decide. :-D

Seeing the fabrics all laid out like you have then; bargello quilt came to mind instantly. With the sheep fabric, which is adorable, a bag came to mind. But anything you make is going to be wonderful. Looking forward to seeing photos and thank you for sharing.

You are so adorable. "finally"? you have been collecting just about a month. LOL your quilt will be beautiful. How big do you think you will be making this one?

Can't wait to see what pattern you finally decide on.

I'm not sure how big....queen size bed? Or maybe just a lap quilt....idk! I guess I'll just cut my fabric until I get tired and then stop lol. Did you use a tutorial for yours? How big is it?

So I had no idea what a Bargello quilt was so I searched it on here and they are AMAZING....holy cow! They are truly gorgeous but maybe a bit too ambitious for my beginner self! They are something to aspire to!

There is tute here on the board for a bargello. I understand it is in three or four threads. There have been a lot of people that have done a quilt with it. look it up. I have not done one but I have a pattern and it does not look too hard. I think you can handle it. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43226-1.htm

DP9 there is a tute too. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-40144-1.htm
