I had not heard of the 10 minute block. What a clever idea! I am just washing the fabric today (I am a pre-washer:-) and realize that I will need to do larger pieces to avoid having a piece with just superman's...umm...hips. The fabric from Keepsake came with coordinating solids/small prints, so this weekend I will choose a pattern and let you all know how it goes! thank you all for yor ideas - I was stumped!

I too am making a quilt from Marvel/DC comics fabric here are a few I am considering as the main fabric needs to be cut very large to keep the design.

Ok, so I am going with Fat Tuesday - it will be a new pattern for me, I like the idea of a second quilt from the leftovers, AND I went to school in New Orleans (that is probably the deciding factor!). Now I just need to wiat until the pattern arrives....

Ok, it is cut out and 2/3's peiced! I am machine peicing with my beautiful Elna Supermatic, which I actually find easier to work with than either the FW or the 99K. I finally settled on a Swirly Girls pattern, "Perfect Ten", because of the large framed blocks that allowed me to highlight some of the larger patterns. The hardest part was laying it out - it is a pretty busy quilt, and Iwanted it to look at least semi-cohesive! My design wall is our bed, so I need to finish peicing before midnight - back to it!
