How do you find that right pattern after you have the fabric?

WTxRed: I would probably throw in white. (unless someone suggested I do otherwise! The blooming nine patch is a good idea. A friend had also suggested the disappearing nine patch. But I would need nine fabrics. I guess if I got a solid, that could be my 9th.

How about the disappearing 9-patch. I made that with many fabrics and it came out awesome. I did make the center square (which is cut into 4s) the same color. Even though my niece picked out the colors (which I did not like), colors of the sunset, I ended up loving the quilt. Plus its easy.

Have a look at some of these sites http://www.threadsgalore.com/free-patterns.htm They quite often have patterns for a whole fabric collection which is usually around 8 fabrics. All the manufacturers offer free patterns these are only just some of them. Good luck

if you reorganize them, you only have three colors - put white backgrounds together for light, both red backgrounds for darks and other four together for mediums....having only three colors may make it easier to find a pattern.

This one has eight fabrics and is traditional. http://www.dontcallmebetsy.com/2012/...ng-fabric.html

I like the Double Slice Layer Cake from MSQC. Unless it's too scrappy. They might have other patterns that would work with your fabric too as they usually work with charms and layer cakes. You just wouldn't have as much variation. Good luck- your fabrics are beautiful and what ever you decide will be too.

I really like the new one over at Missouri star quilt company called the window pane disappearing 9 patch. Pick a solid and you would be good to go! http://quiltingtutorials.com/all/win...uilt-tutorial/
