    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9gtFBlxHGk There you go -- a link to the youtube video where Me and My sister designers show the quilts in their new book. They're easy enough that you don't need directions or a pattern-- you can pretty much see how they're done just by looking at the quilts. Yet easy as they are, they are all very cute projects and make nice use of the fabrics. The pink one and the Dr. Seuss black and white , both presented early in the video, are the ones I was referring to.

    check out the www.favequilts.com site and see what they have. I get a daily email with tons of new ideas every day. Love the fabric. I would probably use some white and the red to make a 9 patch and then alternate with the patterned fabric. Fast, easy and easy to quilt. Then the blue could be used as a border.

    This pattern would work with the print in the middle and the red and blue being the twist part. http://www.quilterscache.com/O/Octag...wistBlock.html

    this is a quick quilt. Can make a small one in a weekend
    I agree. Warm Wishes would be perfect for that fabric. If you didn't want to add white (which would be my choice) you could use a light tan/beige. It will be adorable.

    Attic windows is the 1st thing than came to my mind.

    Here's a picture of a quilt I made for our grandson... attic windows.

    All of these suggestions are great! I was also going to say "Warm Wishes", with the print as the center blocks. LOVE your fabrics!

    I made my brother a quilt with a focus fabric and two others. Decided just to do a simple square of the focus (horses in my case) and then made a snowball with the other. I did put a border around the whole thing, but it was so simple and he loved it.
