My avatar picture was done with rectangle blocks. This too, stumped me until I realized my 'other' fabric just needed to be the same size as the princess fabric. Not sure what blocks make up into the right size rectangle....
I also have this Strawberry Shortcake material. I bought it in the 80's for an outfit for my daughter....... |
I am not going to turn the block itself on point, I was thinking of making the borders perhaps in a triangle design to make the entire block on point. The top, bottom and sides would be triangle shaped. I do like the idea of attic windows, as well as pinwheel...and the scalloped borders...oh what to do.

I have this fabric too. I am watching this thread for some good ideas. Please, keep them coming.

Make sure you mark the tall end of every irish chain block so you don't sew them together wrong... the oblong blocks must face the same direction on every block or they won't meet in the corners. it will be beautiful!!!! http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...rish_chain.htm (I think I like this one best) http://www.quilt.com/Blocks/IrishChain/IrishChain.html http://www.simplicity.com/t-free-qui...ain-Quilt.aspx |
how about a rectangle in a rectangle? you could duplicate the size and shape of your block and by planned scrapping, use all of those nice colors.

I'm voting pink and green pinwheels for the sides. Maybe with little strawberries appliqued in the center of a few of them.

Just another idea to throw into the mix...I think eparys post of her "Mother Goose" quilt would work for your Strawberry Shortcake panels. I bookmarked it for the next time I run across some cute panels. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-47422-1.htm
She posted the pattern link too: http://www.pbtex.com/html/mothergoosepat.html |
