Thank you, everyone! I love fresh vanilla stylish w/ the rectangles and squares very much! I was not able to find the pattern for it!! Would you think 18"x 10" for the rectangles and 10"x 10" for the squares with 2-1/2" strips between? I am definitely leaning toward that one...thought I also love the idea of 18" squares on point if could frame them in ivory. also how many different prints would you say are used in fresh vanilla? I know some of them repeat..would you guess there 8 or maybe 10 different prints on that one? I so much thank you all..had looked at sooo many google images and nothing at all like I wanted. I knew to ask here for help!

After doing a bit of googling, it looks like the long rectangles are 8.5x20.5 and the squares would then be cut 8.5x8.5.

Yes, that would be a good choice. Also, check out Eleanor Burns. She has a nine patch that ends up with two nine patches being made at one time. The colors are reversed, so if one 9 patch starts with the top row as beige-white-beige, the second one will be white-beige-white. The good thing is you get two 9 patches done quickly. (not explaining this well.)

justflyin, thank you so much for the links and cutting guide!! in viewing some of these made up, I believe I should enlarge the scale for the king bed..it won't be as "busy". Bnuen, "modern thinking" just went on my bucket list in fact I've book-marked FIVE quilts from this thread. When planning a king, due to cost and the fact that this quilt needs to be 126" wide to generously cover the drop (the drop is the reason i can't just go buy one), it needs to be easy on the eye and have a timeless quality to it. The current one I made was a huge undertaking and expense too so i think its wise to make another - possibly 2 more to rotate. Its so huge that the real expense comes in sending it out to be long-armed. I guess i don't want the one i have now (and like!) to wear out too quickly!
