Anywhooo...I have been wanting to make new bed quilts for my girlies and just ordered the most perfect fabric!! I cannot wait until it comes in!! The only "problem" is that it has a larger print and I don't want to chop it into little pieces. But I don't want just plain squares, either. I'm stumped on what type of pattern to use so that it's creative, but also shows off the prints to their fullest!
Sooo, any ideas from my fellow quilters??? Please share :o)
How about an attic window type block or wonky stars? You could use a large square in the middle and then jazz it up either strips or points. Good luck! Love that Wonder Woman fabric!
ReplyDeleteI think the fabric is cute, but we aren't fans of bats around here right now. hahahaha.

that fabric is awesome! You could fussy cut out a few characters and use them in the center of a block (like a star or something). then use the rest of the fabric (in all its glory) on the back. Or maybe just a panel on the front with blocks of solids around it?
ReplyDeleteHere's a couple of ideas from my blog:
