Ok ladies and gents
I have these three pcs of fabric about a yard each and I am out of ideas....nil....nothing...brain freeze but I need to sew to keep busy so pls help with any suggestions or patterns or ideas. I prefer it to be a wall hanging but all ideas are welcome. Thanks |
Irish chain? Patterned fabric for blocks and solids for small squares?
|
Attic windows? The Single Irish Chain would be nice also, using the cabin fabric as the center focal block.

Hmmm thank you both. I never did any of these two patterns so I guess it is time. On the Irish chain does it give different looks if I do the green for the five outside blocks and the other color the four squares or the opposite?
I can't even understand what I just asked but you ladies can figure this out....lol |
Oh and btw is the attic window easy to do? I think I have a template for it which I never used
|
I would suggest if you use Irish Chain that you choose certain focal points in your print for your blocks and distribute them evenly throughout the quilt. For example: the red barn/house? and perhaps a few different clusters of trees/flowers. just a suggestion. Have fun!

Thanks It is such divine fabric that I wouldn't be able to cut it - I would shadow quilt and maybe embroider the flowers and a few other bits and use the red as a small border 1/2" and the green wider |
