What pattern would you use
#11
If you do a dnp then I would do the prints in the corners and the purple in between and then maybe a pink or taupe for the center square to be cut up. that would keep the two prints from blending too much. but that is me. I would also do either a tonal or another batik for the smaller square. I have used that dark purple in about 10 different quilts. I love it to bits. It is really nice to work with and keeps its color well. I have about 5 more yards of it to be used in other quilts.

How about a chevron? Like this one. Replace the polka dot with the purple, add the brown/pink and alternate the floral and the bamboo. It's all HST, so it will go quickly. http://luciethehappyquilter.com/tag/...-quilt-design/

Rail fence would be an easy pattern. If you make the strip sets with the dark purple on both sides of the strips, your rail fence ends up looking like a basket weave if you alternate the squares (vertically and horizontally). I also thought of a pretty Braid quilt. I think I'd add a pink fabric to the three, though. It would add a spark and pick up that delicate pink flower nicely.

Hey neighbor, you live just up the hill from me.
I just finished a quilt using a disappearing 4 patch. It was really fun and I loved how it came together. Would love to see you post your quilt and the satisfaction you will have, then carressing a lovely quilt in those yummy fabrics.

I love those fabrics! I'm with twinkie...I wouldn't want to lose the prints on the fabric by using a small design. I'd also add a pink or another color to the quilt. I was intrigued about what I would do so I did some looking and thought these would look good.

or maybe a Courthouse steps variation.
I'd love to see what you decide to do with it!
