Suggestions - quilt from Tim Holtz "Eclectic Elements" fabric
I love the line of fabric called "Eclectic Elements" by Tim Holtz.(not sure I can post the pictures of it here)
I would like to make a quilt for my husband with it. I don't want to cut it up too much but also want some design to it. Suggestions appreciated for a pattern that will feature this fabric at it's best. |
Jenny Doan from MSQC new Illusion Block quilt might be a good one. It is the rectangle with the gray shadow on one side. A nice tan background with the gray shadow with that fabric line would look good in my opinion. The video is on youtube but there is a link on QB as well.

A lot of these quilt patterns use big blocks, http://www.mapleislandquilts.com/quiltpatterns.asp look at ones like BQ, In step, stackables and hot shot, maybe one of these would suit?

or this pattern by Kaufman - Box Trot http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin..._Trot/#color:1 or free pattern - Lumina Dawn by Kaufman - http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin..._Size/#color:1 Note: to me, the Lumina Dawn looks like it needs the darker gray around the large print strips. But, that's just me. |
Nice fabric. You could do all sorts of things with it. Mix some blocks with some 4 patches or stagger them. I have found that when all else fails the DP9 works wonders!

Looks like a great "man quilt" fabric line. I was not familiar with it before this post, but love the line and some of the other's suggestions. Hope you get the perfect combination and show us your finished quilt!

I agree with Tartan. It would look great with this fabric line.

I love this fabric too, and like you, didn't want to cut it up too small.
I went BIG...I made a king-size quilt top out of 12" squares of this fabric. It's just a top so far but I LOVE it and can't wait to finish up my Christmas projects so I can get it quilted and on the bed. :) Sometimes simple is best, I am really enjoying simple big block quilts lately. |
