Comment by Elizabeth Phillips 1 hour ago Hi Marjorie,
Very nice block! I like to work on QOV quilts too. I have 3 to finish before the November quilt-in. I will space them over a few months so I can still work on other projects too.

Comment by Sherri Eley 21 hours ago Started going through scraps today again, and looking at some Bonnie Hunter's patterns. My last scrap quilt from one of her's was given to my son and his wife for xmas. She ashed me today if I could make pillow cases to match it. so thought I would use the pc borer in the happy hour block pattern for them. But didn't get far cutting little stips and squars from all those little pieces...
Comment by Laurie 22 hours ago Nice quilt Pam.
I like the attic windows pattern. It might work for a large scale fabric showcase. May have to make the pieces bigger tho.
Comment by chrissie wunderlich / sk yesterday there's a book called 'livin large' by heather mulder peterson thats based on using large scale prints. see if you can get it from your library. i also think she has another one currently out (available on connecting threads) might be worth a look.
Comment by Debbie Leier yesterday Very nice Pam!
Comment by Linda Bodkin, ON yesterday That is stunning....I even like the hot pink.... I got some pretty hot pinky red for a sashing for one of the quilts we will make! Cheap at $3.99!
I want to say there's a book called 'too big to cut' or something along those lines, but naturally I can't find it now. Maple Island has two or three patterns which show off large prints well. I used their BQ2 to make this quilt:
The pink is really not that "hot" -- it just wasn't photographing well.
Comment by Linda Bodkin, ON yesterday Good call, ladies! I like all those designs!
I have been looking at Bonnie's patterns, and love how she can get so much out of scraps! my dilemma is that I want to use the big, showy, beautiful fabrics without too much cutting!
Linda I would say my goto pattern I found in Bonnie HUnters site-Bricks & Cornerstones. She has quite a few patterns that might work!
