What to make
 

I have this print fabric that I've put with the gray and need a pattern idea for a quilt for my SIL. I would lime one that's quick and easy, but looks like I put a lot of work in it. I also have some solid red and solid black, but thought that might make it too "in your face"

I thought the gray would bring out the silvery gray in the fabric.

Love that print! if you go to the links section, there are plenty of posts there to lots of EZ patterns! they look great together!

Would you want to make OBW blocks? using the gray as sashing? That print is beautiful. I look forward to seeing what others suggest.

What, you are not resting up after completing that beautiful Bargello? :)

I love your fabric. I am trying to think of a pattern that might work for you, but I really am no good at visualizing. I did make a quilt to really focus on one fabric years ago. I will see if I can find a picture, in case it appeals to you.

Okay, found the picture, but now that I look at it, it doesn't look too complicated, and you wanted it more complicated looking, right? Oh well....

What about a disappearing four patch with the print and gray in opposite corners of the original four patch. Easy but very dramatic. You could sash in red or black, very narrow and use red and/or black for borders.

The quilt in this post would look great with your fabric. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t245950.html

I can't see that pic very good. I was considering the carpenters star. What do y'all think? Disappearing 4 patch sounds good, but that's what I'm making for her husband.

Dont have time to rest. BIL is coming sometime this month and I wanted to get them finished. Bargello quilting has to wait a bit longer.

Oh well, you didn't want to rest anyway, did you?? The Carpenter's Star goes together really quickly. I clicked until I got a real close up of your fabric, and then I was able to see the silver in it. That actually goes really well with your gray fabric. Were you thinking of the gray as the second color in a Carpenter's Star...what would you use for the back ground then? Or maybe the gray as a background and your red or black that you said you had, as the second color in the star? Anyway, whatever you decide, be sure to take pictures!! (I am no good at visualizing and would have to pull out my graph paper and colored pencils to see what it would look like.)

I was thinking the gray as background and putting red with the print and binding in black. What do you think?

I've been wanting to make a Magic Squares quilt. Here's a link to MSQC's tute (I hope....you might have to copy & paste): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XddS...69C28&index=63 It looks like it's really easy and fun, and with your beautiful fabrics, it should turn out gorgeous! Good luck!

Misty's Mom, if you look for houndstooth quilt pattern (in a google/pinterest search) you will see that it is a quilt pattern that can be made with just two colors and it looks REALLY complicated. But it is not. If you cannot find the pattern, please let me know :-)

Check out some of the more modern quilts........that gray just calls for modern......the mag Quilty has some rather easy ones that would work for you

I'm not sure about Carpenter's Star, which IMHO I think works best with small prints or near-solids. The larger the print, the more obvious is the "join" of each HST that makes the star points. There's a lot of movement in that lovely floral that will point out every join. If you add a third color, black would be great. I think that would make the silvery gray parts show up even more.

I've recently made 2 quilts using Warm Wishes. Quick and easy and I can see it working with these fabrics, too. Love the gray you've put with this!

How about a BQ? That way your beautiful fabric will show. Put the grey and red for the strips.

I'm sorry, but no pattern comes to mind, however, your fabric is gorgeous.

I like that pattern, too! Just not sure about that particular gray fabric with the fabulous red.

Our guild's BOM this month is "Lovely Garden" by Debbie Caffrey from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Winter 2013 issue. It looks pretty complicated but is super easy. Would look nice with the red and black solid together with your grey and print, I think.

Can't suggest a pattern BUT I absolutely LOVE that red/grey patterned fabric. Very bold but I love it.

A BQ quilt. Use either the red or black as the third color....

What about a Hunter's Star? That would certainly add a contemporary look to a rather traditional pattern. I have Hunter's Star on the mind because I hope to cut one out tomorrow so I can piece it on an upcoming camping trip. No tent plus electricity.

love the red fabric! have not seen it before. who makes it, please? my daughter loves the classic red/white/black. I would think the addition of the silvery gray would calm it down considerably. having said that, nearly all my quilts are bright so my opinion may be prejudiced, lol.

I got this at hobby lobby. On the selvage it says brother sister.

OK, this is what I ended up making, a carpenters star. What do you think?

The gray didn't come out very good. Must be the fluorescent lights and early morning.

Drunkards Path in 2 colors
 

How about a drunkards path done as pinwheels so that it has a lot of movement. I have seen large prints done in it . Or you could use the 2 or 3 of the fabrics as drunkard pinwheels and one more as a background fabric. Good luck and put up pics when you decide!!! Look up drunkards path on pinterest I am sure I saw a couple of examples on there.

here is the drunkards path as a pinwheel
 

here is one way to do drunkards path

Do you mean to say you made that quilt in 48 hours??? Its really REALLY great!! I love how it came out!

Yes I made it that quick. It was a lot of fun and super easy

It is soooo pretty. Great job!

How about a rail fence pattern quilt? I made one for my daughter and it went together pretty quickly.
