    [ATTACH=CONFIG]554557[/ATTACH]
    I am at a loss picking a pattern for these fabrics. My lqs had a sidewalk sale and I bought the bird and ribbon fabric, 3 yards of each and had about a yard of the snowflake fabric.
    Any suggestions??

    How large of a quilt do you want to make?? I would add a neutral color and make a Warm Wishes quilt. I love those Hoffman Cardinals. I never saw that ribbon fabric before.

    Warm Wishes, alternating the bird and ribbon fabric in the "feature fabric" zone.

    Ribbon fabric cut on point.

    Use snowflake fabric for middle stripe in striped blocks. Use matching cream and lighter green to go with snowflake fabric in middle stripe.

    I would use the cardinal fabric as the feature fabric in a Warm Wishes. Add two solids using one of the reds and one of the green in the ribbon fabric. Have those as the outer strips of the three-stripe block with the ribbon fabric as the middle and wider of the three-stripe block. I'd use the snowflake fabric for another project. BTW, I love those fabrics!

    Here is a pattern I made up into a quilt some time ago that maybe you could use with your fabrics. The green snowflake would have to be for something else later, but, the accent colors could be pulled from the colors in the print. Like the dark green and red in the border. Then you would need a cream or tan for around the birds.
