    Default Fat Quarter Quilt pattern for large prints

    Hello,
    I got a fat quarter bundle last year. Some of the fat quarters have large prints and I am looking for suggestions for a fat quarter quilt that has some bigger pieces within the design to show off the prints.
    I would love some suggestions. I have the pattern Sew Little Time from Best Fat Quarter Quilts 2012, and the biggest piece is 5x 9 1/2. I tried one of the fat quarters and it is looking a little chopped up.
    Thanks.

    I wonder if you could enlarge Hole in the Barn Door to accommodate the larger prints. I must admit that I have been avoiding those larger ones because I have a tendency for little blocks, like Boxed Squares.

    I sewed 6 fat quarters together just as they were, and made my dil a large lap quilt. She just loves it. She even cried when I gave it to her. Pretty easy.

    Make Churn Dash blocks big as you want, fussy cutting the middle square.

    This book by Heather Peterson is great for large blocks, some using the entire fat quarter.

    Thank you for the suggestions especially the books Living Large 1and 2 by Anka's Treasure. There are some nice quilts for big prints in the books.

    I bookmarked this quilt a while back because I thought it was really nice and so much potential for big prints.
