    Default Quilt ideas for today's Daily Deal?

    I love all the floral fabrics in the Covent Garden layer cake that is today's daily deal but I'm not sure what type of quilt I'd make with them. I'm thinking something like the stack and whack or pinwheels that have a solid mixed in. Would a D9P or Split Layer Cake be too busy? All suggestions and ideas are welcome!

    Are you planning on adding any other type of material with it??? I think that the fabric is so pretty that it would be nice in all of these patterns. Good luck with it.

    Nena, if I add anything it will be a solid background, possibly cream or off white, depending on the pattern I decide to use.

    I find the Daily Deal pretty busy to the eye..so I would definately add a solid neutral color.. for a twin or lap size quilt. As for a pattern... I am open for suggestions.. Otherwise I'll just have to do some HST (half-square Triangles)

    The layer cakes work great with the 10in half hexie to make a friendship braid. I would defiantly mix in some solids with that too like the other quilters say.... You can get the tutorial for this on you tube under Missouri Star Quilt Co. I tried to copy it but i did something wrong.. There are several other layer cake projects there too.

    I was thinking of it for the 10 Minute Blocks. With a solid background fabric (white, cream,or whatever) I think it would be stunning and work up really quick.

    I think it would be a good one for Jenny's X and O tutorial. If you notice the one hanging on her wall it has a lot of floral in it.
