mental block today-any ideas
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have this little stack of batiks-all are approx 1 yd.I can not decide on a pattern to cut or if some do not belong.Any ideas out there??My helper is in school and I am gonna start ironing and hope you guys have a bright idea for me.I should be quilting the mustache quilts but I feel like cutting up a new one instead.

Those are some beauties! I really like the Shadowbox quilt someone posted a while ago done with squares of batiks. You can appreciate the beauty of them if they are in larger squares.

yes,I am ironing and some are larger prints.I was thinking log cabin but prints are too big to cut at 2.5 or 3 inches.

I think your fabrics would make a gorgeous Forest Bricks quilt. Maybe black for sashing? http://www.maryquilts.com/new-forest-bricks/

Forest Bricks pattern is the same as Take Two. Looks perfect for your material.

Perhaps Urban Cabin by Atkinson Designs-? Not sure if that is correct name, but a good pattern to show bigger prints. :)

I can't wait to see your quilt top. I want to make one myself but I am so bogged down in other projects!
