    Default Help Picking a Pattern

    I REALLY love this fabric. However, I can't find a pattern that I think would work with it. I don't want to cut the pieces too small as it would lose the pattern completely. Could someone please help me find a pattern that would work. Thank you in advance.

    D9p... i'd use the center fabric for the background, the red for the primary color and the other for the minor squares. then the fabric to the right is borders?

    I would use a pattern called "Just Can't Cut It". Uses five fabrics ~ my biggest decision would be which one to use a the focus fabric. The largest figured one would be my choice but that looks like it may be a strip in the overall fabric. Do you have that one in yardage? Focus fabric strips need to be 12.5" for the blocks.

    So many possibilities. Try a block you have never done before.
    It will look good.

    I have a problem of getting stuck with all mediums and not being able to get the other values. I will be following this thread to see what others suggest.

    How about a Carpenter Star with the background a dark blue. Each round of points could be another color and make your squares larger so you do not lose the beautiful patterns.

    How about "Warm Wishes". As I recall, the pieces were pretty good sized. You will not lose you pretty fabric patterns with this.

    I recently saw the pattern "clambake" and thought it would be perfect so fabric I have that I don't want to cut into small pieces. I found a link at random to show the picture.
