    Default Can't find the right pattern

    Almost two years ago I bought this fabric as the local quilt store was going out of business. I have gone through pages and pages of patterns, but just can't seem to find one I like. I would like to keep the pieces rather large so as to not lose too much of the design. I would really appreciate any suggestions!

    How about a center panel say about 24X48 than build around that with blocks to make sort of a medallion quilt.

    OR Warm Wishes with bigger focus blocks. I believe the normal focus for WW is about 6 inches. You could do a 9 or 10 focus block and adjust the other block as needed. There will be other suggestions on here as well.

    Or one called tiles play it uses a layer cake and a couple of coordinating fabrics it could work.

    I agree with Billi. It would make a great quilt, in that pattern, with your fabrics.

    Beautiful fabrics. They would be perfect for the "American Heritage" pattern by Robert Kaufman--http://www.robertkaufman.com/quilting/quilts_patterns/american_heritage/

    I like the Southwest pattern idea - I was thinking you could look on quilters cache website - its loaded with free patterns - there is a block called Anvil that to me looks southwestern - if you look around that site you may come up with ideas for your quilt. Can't wait to see it.
