    Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Once again I need advice on what quilt to make with this fabric for my 4 y/o GS. I need something easy and quick.

    With prints this large, I would do some fussy cuts and use large blocks and binding. I would want show off the prints.

    The first 3 are some pictures of 10 minute blocks and various layouts for them. They use nice big pieces that would work great with your fabrics.

    The 4th one is a tutorial if case you aren't familiar with how to create them.

    Fast, easy and show off large prints. Have fun!

    That's really neat fabric!

    How about adding some bandana material?

    Hobby Lobby has several colors.

    I don't remember if Wal-Mart does or not.

    Don't remember seeing it in the LQS's here.

    Maybe Joanne's or Hancocks.

    I have some neat brown bandana that I picked up a while back. Plan on using it for a boy quilt.

    This is definitely not a 10 minute block for me. Had to pick it aloose five times and the points still do not match. Approximately three hours with cutting, sewing and ironing. What do you think?
