I have 2 yds of the print, 1 1/2 yd of the tan and 1 yd of the black on black.
I will make a lap quilt but just need help with a pattern. Don't have to use the black I just threw it in the mix! I have looked at so many quilts on here but I guess I am just kinda stuck for this print even tho I really like it. Thanks for your ideas!

Sorry, I'm not seeing a picture.

Ah - didn't give it time to load!

MamaBear61 11-09-2010 01:29 PM

Warm wishes would look nice.

deema 11-09-2010 01:45 PM

D9P would be nice, also.

I have that same fabric. Couldn't decide what to use it for so I used it on the back of a quilt. It worked out good, almost looks like a reversible quilt.

Sadiemae 11-09-2010 02:19 PM

That is the neatest print, there has to be something creative you can do with it.

Why not just use the print as a panel. Cut it the size you want, add a couple borders and you have it. I think it would make a great looking quilt. If you stitched around each color, it would look pieced with stitch-in-the-ditch quilting.

I was thinking the same, or use the print for borders. I can't imagine how it will look cut up...

I can't see it cut up either! Maybe that is why I can't decide what to do with it. I think maybe I will just use it as a panel and make borders around it. Thanks for all the help.

I really loved this fabric too. I made a square in a square variation on point with it. It gives the quilt a lattice like look. It also looks like I pieced the center strip of each block LOL

It is only two different blocks, 3 strips in the center with the focal fabric on two of the corners. One block is made with a light, the other a dark along with the focal fabric.

These blocks are 12" and the top is 5 X 6 block. It worked up VERY fast. I am looking for a darker fabric to border it so I can finish it up :D:D:D

Sorry the picture is wonky, but it was the only place I could lay it out right now :roll:

I used dark toned scraps on a throw for dh and used the patch work for the back.

That is what I was thinking!
Or use it in a big block pattern where you don't have to cut it up so much like turning TWenty!

Amma, that quilt is beautiful, love the colors and the pattern.

Dingle 11-09-2010 08:22 PM

Amma, I love that top. I also have that fabric and didn't know what to do with it. Would you be willing to give the directions for the top? You did a great job! :thumbup:

Because the blocks were so big, I cut out 12 1/2" squares out of news print and paper pieced them. I just used a ruler and pencil to mark them. The center strips are 4" wide and the side strips are 3" wide.
This was easier than trying to cut the angles for the end pieces of the center strip.

Love your use of the fabric on the point on point on the diagonal.

I also think that the original question, which pattern to use with your fabric. I think your patterned fabric would look great s a panel or trying the point on point would look great. Can't wait to see which pattern you choose.

:D :D :D
