I am seeking ideas for quilt patterns using the oriental style fabrics I have. Most have a metallic thread running through, and there are shapes like lanterns and fans. They are dark reds, greens, and blues. Any ideas on what would show them to great advantage? Thanks

Well, the first thing that came to my mind was a chinese lantern quilt. They are very pretty and show the fabrics off in an interesting way, and it kind of keeps the asian theme going.

Or this one? I can't remember what this block is called, maybe someone else can help me out. It might not showcase the fabrics in the way you want, though.

This is Oriental Screens by Leesa Chandler (Chandlers Cottage)

Love the second pic Peckish did you have a pattern for it

This is a quilt that I did using the oriental fabrics. The fans in the corners are actually appliqued.

I did a kimono quilt. Pictures are on here don't know how to show u.
Peck! Would love the pattern the last one u showed!! Looks like a kalaidescope!!
Can't wait to see what u do with oriental fab. I have more and need ideas!!!

anything that uses big blocks is good

Love that quilt! I also have Oriental fabric, but no idea what to do with it.

I actually made a dresden plate using orientals. While it may not have shown off the focus fabric, the orientals were the focal point.
