Would love to hear some ideas from everyone
 

Hey y'all...
I was asked to make a quilt for a Combat Vets Association for a raffle....here is the material they gave me to make the quilt...I know how I want the middle to be, but would love to hear y'all's ideas about the other blocks...the middle is going to be the white fabric with saying....and I know I want to use 4.5" blocks and strips from the other material...got some ideas of my own but wanted to hear some of y'all's ideas.....

I think it depends if you want to do something simple or more complicated. I love the look of rail fences. Good Luck.

Thank you...rail fences is a very good idea....I love that pattern too.... It's gonna be a queen size and I'm making it all by hand , so it needs to be simple..... :-)

This fabric reminds me of the first quilt I started. It was a yellow brick road. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t174293.html

I just looked at your quilt and I love it.....thanks for sharing it with me..... :-)

I was going to suggest rail fence myself.

That is a good one.........

Maybe a warm wishes quilt?

What is a Warm Wishes Quilt?

I like the idea of Warm Wishes. Possibly the focus blocks could be the light fabric with the red and blue star fabrics in stripes and the flag fabric as the middle stripe.

Thank you...that dose sound nice......

Maybe Irish Chain? Take a look at the one posted in todays newsletter under pictures "Scrappy Christmas Irish Chain". The big block could be the white with the writing, then the 9 patches with the others. ALL by hand, really? You go girl!

That's a really good idea...will go look at that quilt....thanks....and yes ma'am...gonna do it all by hand....

Personally somewhere, somehow you need a quiet fabric to tie all those others together.....jmho

I agree with Gerri B. Needs a light color. Maybe a white or light tan

I was thinking that as well.....

This one is nice with those fabrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1KiB2fImZM

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas.......I came up with an idea that will be quick and easy and very eye catching....since it's gonna be a queen size, and hand sewed.....quick and easy is always good....

Thanks for this link - very nice !

I like Warm Wishes for this, too. The white would be your feature fabric. Very Easy quilt that always turns out well. You can do any size blocks by making sure that the pieced block is square and the same size as your feature block. Here's the free pattern. http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/d...html?idx=5185_

I would pick a focus fabric or two (perhaps the two on the right and alternate them in a snowball/nine patch quilt. I would use white in the corners of your snowball block and the red and blue in the nine patch. Just a thought.

If I had just waited one more day, I would have used this pattern.....but have already decided the pattern and have it cut out and sewing on it....will post more pics in the picture section ...have one posted already.."Patriotic Raffle Quilt"
Thank you for the picture of your quilt..... :-)

twinkie....that's a lovely layout on that quilt above. I want to remember that one.....:)
