Re: ideas for novelty prints

*sigh*

I love that design, Debi!! Great eye!! :)

I even have one as UFO (*real* Amish fabrics, too!) ... quilted it halfway
and then put it away so long that the quilting design marks has rubbed off.
And it's intricate enough that I'm terrified to try again (lost the stencil
YEARS ago and I can't find it in stores or online)! : /

Amish Diamond is an excellent pattern to use novelty stuff in the center
square. http://www.quilterscache.com/A/AmishDiamondBlock.html
It makes a cute baby quilt of another and has plenty of room for mixing
and
matching colors. As you may tell, it's one of my favorites.

I have a serious weakness for novelty prints, although I am trying to
curb
it (Pat in VA is my witness - I kept saying "I've got the rest at
home"!).

But, short of giving it away, how can I make a dent in this?

Some are themed (cats, tea/coffee/cakes, Christmas, etc), but many are
just fun kiddies prints. Most are medium print (4" squares would be
plenty
big to show a single motif).

I have more than enough to treat them as scraps in the sense of being
able
to mix lots of different fabrics. However, I don't see many scrappy
quilt
patterns which looks to work well with novelty prints.

As time passes, some gets used in baby quilts, but I need to make a
couple
of bed size (full size, probably) for my own house.


Any suggestions?


Thanks!
