I was asked to make quilt for a fundraiser for friend who was rediagnosed with cancer. She wanted it pink. I bought5 fabrics and now don't know what to do with them. I boughg a green, medium fushia, two floral, one small and one medium and a beige.
Any ideas about patterns?

Have used the Accuquilt take 5 die--makes slick work of cutting the quilt. If you have access to a Studio Cutter (some LQS' rent theirs) you can cut 8 to 10 blocks at one time. It goes together very easily. Of course, if you do a dumb-dumb as I did the first time your quilt will look different. I cut the blocks and somehow put the rectangle in a spot separate from the squares. The blocks I put together were the large square and 5 small squares. Made sense as I was I sewing, but after a dozen blocks things were not working out. Oh well, a couple of Linus quilts and then cut some other fabric for QOV. One way to reduce your stash.

I have two books for 'Take 5'. It takes 5 one yard cuts only. I do buy 5 one yard cuts once in a while just for 'Take 5'. You should buy one of their books. The patterns aren't too hard and the quilts are beautiful! So many people are telling you to try the books, and I agree!! I would even send you one of my books, if you would like. My treat!
