    Default Help choose a pattern for these fabrics

    I have these fabrics but not sure the best pattern to use. I have a pattern in mind but want to see if someone might come up with a different one that I might like. I purposely don't want to say the name of the pattern I'm thinking about...would just like to see if something different pops into your mind. Thanks

    The only thing I can think of is Falling Charms but I would most likely change from yellow to gray for the background.

    Definitely need to use a solid or near solid to calm down the lively prints--that black or navy would work great. Very pretty fabric!

    Actually, I was thinking of using the Disappearing 9 Patch - using the yellow as the middle fabric of the 9 patch - having it shown each block as a small square. Do you think that would work?

    I was also thinking of a DP9, Pat. I think it would look great.

    This might be interesting. You'd need another neutral, like grey.

    I have used three of those exact fabrics several times. I made a very large tote with the top fabric and to put inside made a small clutch using the solid yellow at the top and geometric print at the bottom...came out very cute. Also made a tote with large strips using same fabrics plus the large flowers as a lining. Makes great placemats too. You could do a large block quilt (cut as 10" layer cake)...hope this helps you. I love these colors together.

    I think that "City Scapes" would be the best one for your fabrics, at least, that is the one I would choose.
