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!

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

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....

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_
