he says, 'boof buff wuff fuffbuff guffh' which i'm pretty sure translates to 'thanks for all the well wishes, i'm feeling much better. throw the ball!!!'
i have all this University of Tennessee Volunteers fabric and i'm wanting to make me a quilt with it and i was wondering if anybody had suggestions on what pattern would look good. i would like something simple that shows off the fabric...i'm only wanting to use three colors- orange (duh), white, and the prints i have...

How about a T shaped block, http://quilting.about.com/od/blockofthemonth/ss/t_quilt_block.htm
ReplyDeleteLike the one here? You could use all the colours you mentioned and it would go with the theme of the quilt!

I've made several Trip Around the World quilts in Georgia Fabric, Red and Black Prints. Works up quickly because you can do some strip piecing.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Love the gray and yellow.
ReplyDeleteThose oranges will make up beautifully. How about a simple rail fence design to show off the fabrics?
What about a Sweet Garden quilt?

I vote for the T shaped block! What a good idea! You should see the humongous Power T in a yard in Kingston done in orange wild flowers.....covers the whole hillside. I'll be at their first game. Go PACK!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about a Sawtooth Star where you could show case the special fabrics in the center square? You could even go the crazy quilt route, showcasing the specialty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteAlas, I have no suggestions for your Tennessee quilt. The Baptist fan is a perfect motif for the red and white snowball quilt. It has such beautiful movement. I wish I had made the yellow and grey quilt. It is amazing and the swirl quilting works beautifully with it.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they are draped so how about just a strippy. Youcould put a row of pieced stars in the alternate strips if you want.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if you ever made this quilt....but if you didn't....use the original BQ pattern & make it similar to the Army quilt I saw earlier in the blog. BQ is super fast made with 2 basic pop colors & big square to show off the fabric of the other fabrics. Or it can be made with only 3 fabrics. It's my favorite go to pattern to spotlight fabric I Just Can't Cut!
