Hi and greetings from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where I moved 2 years ago from my home in Virginia Beach, VA. I am a struggling beginner quilter, with a stash of fabric that may dryrot before I actually complete a quilt! I would love to find a simple pattern that shows a lot of the fabric design, but not just plain 12x12 squares! 8) If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. I have already been inspired by the beautiful quilts that are posted online. Keep up the beautiful work!

THANK you! It does look simple and shows a lot of fabric. New website for me, too!

Hi & Welcome from PA. We won't help your fabric addiction, but you'll find a lot of fellow fabric collectors. So, we'll probably make it worse

A big welcome from Ireland - Turning Twenty patterns have largish pieces in them. There are several booklets in the series all available on Amazon

Thank you! p.s. I'm half Irish and would love to visit your country some day!

Welcome Paulettee! I am also new. I live in New Hampshire.

Welcome to the world of quilters from Missouri!! I am also in need of a 12 step program for gathering fabric! :?

Welcome from Southern California

Welcome from Illinois. We love the North Carolina coast...lucky you! I think Snowball is a very easy block that shows lots of fabric. You can make an entire quilt from it or alternate with a number of other blocks. It looks great alternated with a simple nine patch block...the corners of the snowball creating a nice diagonal movement.
