Trying to design a new quilt for the past few days.. does anyone have a suggestion for a fabric that has a definite striped effect to the design???? I love the fabric, but realize that cutting and layout will be limited, unless I find something that will look wonderful with a one way fabric. Help, please.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!! I have only used striped fabrics for bias bindings. I'm sure a lot of people will have some great suggestions for you!

Try a patch pattern using colors that match or blend.
Maybe a solid with another stripe similar to the orginal.
I love the fabric.

I love that fabric but like you have no idea what to make with it.

love the fabric, and have no idea on pattern for you

Is an absolutely amazing fabric. You can make almost anything with it, as long as you are careful what to match it with. It will definitely show better against anything solid or toned batik with no print on it.

How about something like this? http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...sket_weave.htm

A basket weave maybe?

oh, nice idea...but that one is using two different color "striped" fabrics. I only have 2 1/2 yds and was going to mix it with the deepest shade of pink/magenta, with the tiniest silver dot on it. At least you've given me hope!! thanks
