    Default Pattern needed

    Hi everyone. I came across a quilting shop while on a weekend away, just had to browse and I found the attached fabric. Think it is incredible and want to make a new quilt for my bed, just don't know what pattern and what alternative fabrics I should put with this. Having a real mind blank on this one. Any advise welcome and appreciated. Thanks. Diane

    how large is the design? can you put a ruler or coin on it to show the design size?

    What a stunning fabric. Maybe a one block wonder (OBW) -- although it will have some very dark blocks. But if you have enough fabric, you could leave some of the dark blocks out and use that fabric for another project.

    Can you please tell us who the manufacturer is? and the designer and/or collection name?

    I would put turquoise and slate grey with it. As for pattern, I would do one of the big block patterns so you don't have to cut up the fabric too much.

    I agree with Tartan on the colors. Just beautiful fabric.

    Same here. Love the fabric! I would look for other fabrics in that line made to coordinate with it.
