I just made large roman shades out of 2 of these fabrics for my daughters college apartment. AB's fabrics are young and hip and this age group loves them. I am drawn to the colors also. Good choice.

I also looked at these and there are some nice ones that a young girl would adore.

I agree with a Turning Twenty pattern, or the book Big Block Explosion, or maybe the Labyrinth pattern by Calico Cariage Quilt Designs (it has no diamonds, no "Y" seams).

Suzanne,
I plan to use similar fabrics to make a large-block disappear- ing 9 patch. I will probably alighn the the completed blocks so I don't have to match seams, but I'm a beginner.

Perhaps a water color quilt would be something to explore.

Maybe a dresden plate, or some other pattern where the pieces can be of similar value. Some kind of stars, or churn dash. Maybe adding some more solid fabrics to let those show. I love the fabric, but am not able to put together contempory or art quilts yet, but that type of quilt might be great. Diane in VT

PLEASE NOTE that these are not fabrics I would ever even consider buying for myself. I did a quick search online for ideas and am uninspired. Do any of you have pictures to share or links for me to go to for good quilt ideas?

Thanks so much for your assistance. I am a lover of traditional quilt patterns and Jo Morton and Kansas Troubles kinds of fabrics, so this is an entirely new and scary area for me.

Not my cup of tea either but disappearing 4-patch or the 10 minute block from Suzanne McNeill comes to mind. I have done both and they are both easy quilts.

10 minute quilt pattern would make a beautiful quilt. I am going to use it for 2 quilts I have to do for my son's best friends for graduation presents.

If you look on the site at the free patterns, how about Amy's Mid Mod quilt? I like them all, but I think that one would be great. With large prints like that you don't want to be using tiny squares.
I love these fabrics. I'm all for a splashy statement. Don't have clue what to do with the fabric, but if you keep seaching, something will pop out at you.
