Can't get Started.....

What about a Disappearing 9P or a 4 to 9 patch? Both are simple but look complex and they both look great with large prints. If you did the 4 to 9 patch, you could make your 4 patches with the doggie and blue material together and the red and yellow together in your blocks then alternate their placement to create a diagonal pattern. I did this starting out with 5" squares - fast, easy and looked great!

I think the doggie fabric would look good as the center block in the Warm Wishes quilt. I'd made a Warm Wishes quilt with ABC's in the middle and looked great. your 2 fabs on the left would look good on the logs of Warm Wishes with the yellow in the midle of the log.
I think you've got your quilt planned. (Or I do Heh heh)

How about the Disappearing Nine Patch pattern. This blog shows a tutorial: http://quiltsatcs.blogspot.com/2007/...-tutorial.html
Also, see pics of three I made from the same fabric. Use a focus fabric in the corner of the 9 patch and it doesn't get cut up.
