Having made several kaleidoscope-type quilt tops (4-Patch Posey, One Block Wonders, etc.), I've learned that straight lines should be avoided. If you get off even a hair, those straight lines will highlight your inaccuracy.

As others have suggested, I think this fabric lends itself better to other designs.
It sure is pretty, though!

[quote=cathyvv]I like the fabric, but don't quite understand what you mean by the repeats are about a yard apart. could you give us a picture of two yards?

Each "panel" is about a yard. The picture shows one complete panel and parts of two others.

Me too. Love it...looks a little Scandinavian to me...very, very appealing (p'raps I'm odd:)).

That is beautiful. If it were me I couldn't cut it up.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I guess I'll hang onto it for a while and hope that inspiration will hit me.

NO!!!! The 4 patch posey needs to have an all over design-- the busier the better with irregular shapes in it to make it more interesting.

Could you use some of it as a "fussy-cut" in a quilt top block and then work some as an accent on the backing fabric?
