Thanks for sharing this website and pattern. I love it and already have plans for some fabric I was not sure how to use.

This would be a great pattern to showcase the pirate fabric.

You would use your Pirate Fabric plus five other fabrics. I think the largest print would be cut into 5.5" squares, but I'm not positive about the measurement. I know that some clever person can provide you a link with where to buy this pattern. I've seen it in 6 local stores over the years.

It's an easy pattern for a lap size quilt that really goes together quickly.
I agree...."Just Can't Cut It" is the best! They are friends of mine over at All Washed Up. That's where I rent a long-arm to quilt my quilts.

I like this idea. you could cut the fabric in long strips and cut the other fabric in narrower strips and sew those between the pirate fabric. kinda like you are looking at a japanese room divider , maybe do the narrow strips in a rainbow fashion .. who is the guy who cuts fabric in long strips and then places other fabric between creating a moving picture look... something like that.

and I agree that the fabric designer totally took Jack Sparrow's character and put it on that fabric. When I saw it at the store, I had wondered what Disney thought of it lol.

I apologize - hadn't really looked at my pattern for a few years now. You cut your biggest blocks to be 12.5 inches.
You can showcase alot of the print this way.

I think it would be great for a nice wide border so that you can see more of the designs. It would be a shame to cut it onto small pieces.
This is going to be a great quilt.
