OBW gets my vote... Were you lucky enough to be gifted with at least 6 repeats of the pattern?
|
if you haven't decided on a pattern yet, i could send you a pdf file with directions for a simple pattern by moda. you can PM me if you would like to look at it--i don't have the link to it, [so i can't post it here] but i do have the file

wow many votes for OBW.. Kaleidoscope blocks.. only trouble I am having is since death of grandson last Sunday, my hands shaking so much, I can't get the material stacked to whack! I feel like I need to sew something to get my head back on straight.. but something very simple to calm my mind and body... I thought of cutting across selvage to selvage of the flowers.. in 3 inch strips.. then the same in various solids that match the colors.. sewing a flower strip then one or two solids.. then a flower strip..then different solids.. then flower.. etc.. then cutting the strips at 90 degree.. then staggering the strips by removing 1/2 of first block and adding it to the end of the strip..

Sounds Great. May god Give you comfort with the loss of your love one. My Prayers go out to you and the family. you could also do a white lattice with the flower to make a garden view quilt.

I think that sounds great. I don't even know if I could do even that much after the death of our son. Mind gets messed up really bad.
When I am overwhelmed now, I work on cathedral window squares and something simple that requires no thought processes at all. My thoughts are with you. Wish we lived closer I would be there to help you! |

Here is what I was trying to describe earlier.. what do ya'll think.. will do a OBW some time when I can think. As you see on right side.. how I would first sew strips.. then when I cut them.. and resew...... staggering

Could zig-zag the stagger.. with the black and the wide flower border.. this could look neat.. and not to much thinking required
|
I like the second one better (zigzag stagger). I really catches your eye. Thanks for showing the idea!

Try a Potato Chip Quilt. They are fun, show off the fabric and you can break a bright fabric up a bit. I posted one a few minutes ago.

Looks good.
