braid would be pretty or square in a square, Warm Wishes,

QuiltnNan 01-08-2016 09:18 AM

perhaps a chevron?

luvstoquilt 01-08-2016 09:23 AM

Double Irish chain...quick and easy and very effective!

nativetexan 01-08-2016 09:35 AM

I think a good Chevron would show the fabrics well.

joanneg 01-08-2016 09:36 AM

Yes, I vote for a chevron.

jjsnacks 01-08-2016 09:38 AM

I am not sure which pattern would be suitable, but I think the fabrics are lovely

1000 pyramid -- I started one with similar fabrics. Just need one color to make it pop.

Card trick on a bit of color background would show off the fabric, I think.

ManiacQuilter2 01-08-2016 03:40 PM

I would throw in a red and make any of these quilts:

thanks !!!

I'm making a chevron with very similar fabrics.

jmoore 01-09-2016 04:28 AM

I first thought chevron too, but if your backing is the flannel chevron I would consider pinwheels or irish chain since you have that beautiful white for a background fabric. There are so many colors that marry with gray if you needed to add another color it would be pretty either way. I know yellows with gray were popular last year... keep us posted on your project, I love your fabrics.

I would LOVE to see yours !!!

My first thought was rail fence.

MargeD 01-09-2016 10:53 AM

Those are great fabrics. I was just on another site where the quilt pattern was just flying geese, going in 2 different directions, one row up, one row down. It's an idea.

How about the Birch Tree Pattern with the red cardinals from leisure arts. Someone on pinterest has posted it. I made it a couple years ago and it really turned out well. Of course I never took a picture of it.

quilttiger 01-10-2016 03:20 AM

See Reply #11 by ManiacQuilter2. The site she selected has a lot of awesome ideas! Bet you will find the one you like the best. Can't wait to see your choice. The fabrics you have are gorgeous.

Texas_Sue 01-10-2016 05:52 AM

Great quilts, ManiacQuilter2 - Those really make me want to make a black/white/red quilt!

unclefreckles 01-10-2016 06:46 AM

What beautiful fabric! I like the chevron idea. The fabrics call out to be in a modern pattern in my opinion.

scisyb220 01-10-2016 08:20 AM

You may consider a version of Buzz Saw. I've made several quilts with a pattern that was in McCall's Quick Quilts around 2008. It can be made with 2.5" strips and goes together really quickly. And the contrasts in your fabrics would make it fun.

Yes the double Irish chain would enhance these fabrics. They may get lost in the chevron.

costumegirl 01-10-2016 08:52 AM

Very pretty fabrics!! Whatever pattern you pick, you will have fun working with them :)

dsews2 01-10-2016 08:57 AM

Very nice fabrics.....the only pattern i can really come up with would be 3d bow ties or just squares.
Or maybe square in a square.......have fun........

sprice 01-10-2016 10:34 AM

Beautiful fabrics--I like Warm Wishes. It looks so much more complicated than it is.

GailG 01-10-2016 10:41 AM

Wow, quilttiger, those are fabulous quilts. Seeing these have really got the wheels in my head spinning! The red would be great with the gray assortment. So would turquoise (my favorite), bright green, or yellow. Have fun deciding.

quilter2theend 01-10-2016 03:10 PM

Would French braid work? Card trick would be pretty too.

maryellen2u 01-10-2016 08:08 PM

I really have no idea what you should do. I'm just writing to say that I love your fabric choices. They are very stylish and modern!

BluegrassGurl 01-10-2016 08:17 PM

oooohhhhh.... gorgeous fabrics! I have really fallen in love with gray recently.

I like the chevron idea; however, the 3 grays are of similar color value so the contrast will not be as powerful. You could consider including a "pop" of color for a couple of rows..... red or yellow or turquoise. Have fun!
