I think either quilt pattern would be great. If it starts feeling like it's too much as you're laying it out on your design wall. Simply add some white. Fixed! If not, then you'll be happy either way.

Gorgeous fabrics! I guess I think of an Irish chain as being more traditional, and a D9P as more modern, so I would probably use the D9P for those fabrics. I also think you might lose some of the precision of the IC with the blending of the two colors in the batik.

janegb 06-09-2013 11:54 AM

D9Patch for sure.

Mariposa 06-09-2013 11:56 AM

It will be a lively quilt! Either pattern would be great!

craftynell 06-09-2013 12:28 PM

I love the colors.

Quiltaddiction 06-09-2013 12:30 PM

Yum colours! Don't think it would matter what block IC is good I think Jacobs Ladder too.

Material Witness 06-09-2013 01:13 PM

If you do the D9P, I think I'd use orange for the smallest square, since it's so bright, and the green has some varigated color in it.

krafty14 06-09-2013 02:05 PM

I would do the D9P with the orange in the center, the green on the sides and the floral in the corners. I can see it!!!!

I love those wild fabrics. They are beautiful. Can't wait to see what they become.

No. I don't know anyone with an EQ. I can picture both in my mind. Sometimes, I think I'm crazy. But, not all the time.hehehehe!!

Love the colors!

sewnsewer2 06-09-2013 04:38 PM

I think the DIC would be gorgeous in these fabrics! Add some beige too.

Lisa Marie 06-09-2013 04:38 PM

I love the colors, my vote is the Irish Chain.

malindaann 06-09-2013 05:04 PM

Love the colors!

alfosa421 06-09-2013 05:08 PM

Love the Colors! Not sure about the pattern though.Good luck in your decision and don't forget the pica!

rosalynd 06-09-2013 05:15 PM

I say go with the D9P

ailene 06-09-2013 05:17 PM

I really like the colors you have picked out. I think it would look good as a double nine patch. Doesn't an irish chain usually just have two colors?

ailene 06-09-2013 05:20 PM

Sorry, I meant to say disappearing nine patch LOL. Or you could make a disappearing four patch. I saw it done on mqc as well.

ScrapQuilter 06-09-2013 07:41 PM

Either pattern would be nice............. hope you will post a pic of the quilt when done.

Debbie C 06-10-2013 02:36 AM

whichever pattern you chose, that is going to be one lively quilt! Love the colors!!

twinkie 06-10-2013 03:01 AM

I think as long as you don't overpower it with too much of the solid colors, it will be just beautiful.

Krystyna 06-10-2013 03:34 AM

Either will be wonderful. As for being wild -- life is in color. There is a place for every color in our quilts.

Flo Pierce 06-10-2013 03:39 AM

Lovely fabric. I can see it in a lovely wall hanging. How outstanding it would be.

daisylil 06-10-2013 03:48 AM

I would go with irish chain

mjhaess 06-10-2013 03:56 AM

Cheerful...Happy colors....Love them...

bearisgray 06-10-2013 05:05 AM

Or one can add a darker green to tame it down - if you want to.

starshine 06-10-2013 05:07 AM

I think the colors are great together, and if you feel the need for a tone down match the white in the blender fabric and your good to go. Either pattern would be great.

cuppi duke 06-10-2013 05:08 AM

I love your fabrics. they would be pretty in any pattern

WMUTeach 06-10-2013 05:12 AM

Nothing wrong with "WILD"! and I think the disappearing nine patch would be an excellent choice. for these fabrics. Show us your finished project, it will be a stunner.

grammysharon 06-10-2013 05:28 AM

It will be a beautiful quilt!!! Be bold!!!!!!!!!!!!

nananurse 06-10-2013 05:35 AM

Love the fabric and I vote for the Irish Chain!!! The colors are beautiful!

Grannyh67 06-10-2013 05:58 AM

D9P, it is my favorite and this fab will be beautiful. I would choose the orange and the center block

kat112000 06-10-2013 06:01 AM

Love, love those colours!!!

dragonflylady 06-10-2013 06:04 AM

OHHHH NOOOOO that WILL be beautiful please post when finished =-) cant wait to see it

dottie dodge 06-10-2013 06:07 AM

Both would be great patterns but the D9P would be faster and you need to get it done so that you can post a picture soon!:)

cpcarolyn 06-10-2013 06:10 AM

nwm50 06-10-2013 06:56 AM
