I used that fabric to make "walking on broken glass" from Carolina patchworks. Really love it, but have not shown it before because I haven't quilted it yet. I always like quilts with seconday patterns They also have other non traditional patterns. I'd be willing to sell you the pattern at a "used" discount since I won't be using it again.

There is also a grroup out at Flickr that is "modern quilts":

Let me see if I understand...instead of alternating boxes like the green box first, then purple around that, then green around that...are you saying, start with green in the center of the box progressing out to the purple and then make all the boxes like that? I would be putting in a few more strips of color in each box like that. I could see this as being really pretty.

This is what mine is modeled after - I too, was going for a contemporary look.

She showed me awhile back that she likes the "Thinking Outside the Box pattern". Would these fabrics really work with that though? If she likes a more "modern" pattern and these fabrics won't really work with the TOTB...what other design options would you recommend for consideration?

Any ideas are truly welcomed and appreciated. BTW, she's pretty easy to please so if you can think of ANY pattern that would look nice in these fabrics please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks so much! Karen

Love the color selections

Thank you, there are some really nice quilts here!

I am doing a quilt for my great niece in purples and greens. This pattern I choose shows off the prints nicely.
