Have you looked on Pinterest for ideas?
Here are a few traditional / antique examples from Pinterest: A shoofly quilt A floral log cabin Road to Oklahoma (I did this in wildflower fabric several years ago and it was lovely; unfortunately have since lost the photo) Some "broken dishes" examples Some "Jacobs ladder" examples |
Such beautiful and soft colors in this palate. This is one that I would do a Depression block with. All HST darker against lighter and so pretty with these colors. https://www.quilterscache.com/D/DepressionBlock.html .

Thank you all for your input. Still waiting for those 2 fabrics but have been been looking thru my pics for ideas (one can spend hours & days searching on my pc). Found a beautiful quilt 'Bubbles' by member Thepolyparrot, but all those drunkards path blocks - even with the special foot for these I think they would drive me nuts. I do like Jacobs Ladder, or a variation, much quicker too, also crazy patch or hexagons. I made a quilt for DGS using a variety of sizes of the economy block, and loved that one, all in blues. Hopefully the fabric will speak to me when I get my mojo back.

Hello Gay - I think your fabrics are lovely and I immediately thought of a recent email received from Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color. She's preparing for a sew-along soon with her recently released Honeycomb Stars pattern. I realize this is not vintage/antique but it would be a beautiful quilt made with your fabrics. Here's a link to her site - Honeycomb Stars by Stitched in Color
Another thought, Jen Kingwell's soon to be released book - Quilt Recipes - has several patterns that I think would finish lovely in your soft, pastel colors. Wensleydale and Diamond Exchange are my two favorites. Here's a link - Jen Kingwell Quilt Recipes Just my random thoughts - look forward to what you decide and hope you find your mojo soon! Hugs, Christine |
Hello Christine, good to know you're home. Have been thinking of you much lately so will have to email you now. The Honeycomb Stars is very nice, and I loved her Winki Stars. Will need to get some neutral background fabrics as the ones I have need something added.
