Our guild has a block contest each year, and the blocks are voted on at our annual show. this time the theme is "Circus". I need ideas. I will go out and see if I can find a circus coloring book. have looked around a little on the web. This is going to take some doing, and probably help from quilting friends for me to find patterns. Any suggestions?

I don't know about patterns but the Toy Box II fabric line has a nice circus print in their Big Top colorway. Do you have color restrictions?
fatquartershop has the fabric if you want to check it out.

I made a clown baby quilt one year, all 3" squares and half-square triangles, using a cross-stitch pattern to tell me which squares should be what colors.
I also just finished a pair of cute elephant applique quilts for twins.
Baby quilts are probably easiest for this theme.
