    Default Help me find a pattern

    Hi All

    I have spent the last few hours saying good by at my current job needless to say that many tears have been shed. I can only hope for bigger and better things where I'm going but I know that I am going to immerse myself in my quilting or therapy like I like to call it this weekend.

    I have some fussy cut fairies that I would like to use to make a baby quilt but want to try something different. As a beginner I've mostly been making 4 patch, nine patch and D9P quilts. while the four patch using the fairies as an alternate square works and looks really nice, I was wondering if someone could suggest another pattern/block that requires a square in the center but will allow me to move away from my 4 patch comfort zone. By the way, the fairies are by Michael Miller and are absolutely adorable so I really do want to use them whole.

    Thanks
    Happy Quilting

    Hi
    How about something like this
    http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...ooth_patch.htm
    And use the fairies block for the center.

    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    I'm going to try this again.......

    Square in a Square would work with a fussy cut.

    Here's an example of how it's done....http://sleepyowlstudio.wordpress.com...lock-tutorial/

    I really like that one, as a beginner myself I might put that on the old "to do" list! Thanks!

    I just made this pattern: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/10/...ice-quilt.html - I liked it because it "featured" all the fabrics in a 5" block. Good luck finding the right pattern and the right job!

    O my gosh, I looked at all those blocks and it made my head swirl. I've been trying to pick something to do and now I have that many more choices.........Maybe I should just close my eyes and point!

    Thank you all! I knew I could count on you. I think I'm going to try the square in square with some scrap/stash fabric because I think that would work best with the amount of fabric that I have but will keep the others in mind for the future

    You guys are the best! I don't think I would be quilting if it wasn't for Jenny and the wonderful people on this forum.
