3 fabric quilt ideas?
Does anyone have any ideas for making a quilt with 3 fabrics. For some reason, I have 2 sets of 3 fabrics but no idea what to do with them. Something with large blocks and few pieces would be great! I already have 2 quilts started w/ small pieces and I'm looking for something that will give quick gratification!
thanks

You could make:
- a chevron quilt with 3 different fabrics, either with HSTs, or strips.
- a quilt with rectangular 4 patches
- an irish chain quilt, either double or single with two differently coloured chains.
- a disappearing 9 patch quilt
- a disappearing 4 patch quilt, either with two different coloured blocks or interchanging the colours between two blocks (uhm...do you know what I mean by that?)
Hmm...I'm sure there are many more!

Jennie from Missouri Star Quilts just did a tutorial on a double friendship star quilt that used only 3 fabrics. It looks great and seemed relatively easy to piece. Check for it on their site or on u-tube

This was recently discussed. You should find a lot of good ideas here.

This is an easy pattern. Be sure to go to the next page to see all the different ways it can be put together.
