    I think im going yo do like somebody said and cut them down to 5" blocks. Then im going t do the 4 patch Jacobs Ladder with white. I love all these ideas, but it just seems like these blocks dint have enough contrast for me to love any of them. They are 3/4 light and 1/4 dark. Insane. And Im too new still to have a decent stash yet. :-D thankseveryone!! Have added the ideas to my "to do" list!!

    I know exactly what you mean; I did/do the same thing. I bought the fat quarter set of pom pom...I just love it but have been looking for a pattern that seems just right too. So far I'm thinking of a tumbler using the big 10 inch tumbler from MSQC or a pattern in twice the charm book.

    I hoping the big tumbler goes on daily deal soon!

    Here are some links to show you:

    http://www.connectingthreads.com/boo...!__D45370.html

    If you click on more images on the connecting threads site, it's number 4. I think this would look great using 10 inch squares instead of charms. I thought this fabric called for large squares/shapes to show how beautiful it is.

    Hope this helps

    Hope this helps!
    I am getting ready to try this one, hope it goes together as easy as the video shows!

    Oh that one from connecting threads looks really cute! Super easy too! I love love the tumbler but I havent made one yet. The 10" tumbler looks too big to me. I need to see one in person I think.
