...Oh yea, Attic window, maybe big "window" panels so you really see the pigs... How cute!

Put it in the border. Then pick up colors from the fabric for whatever you choose to do for the middle of the quilt.

Warm wishes is easy. When my friend wanted to make her first quilt we chose warm wishes. One hint: Cut the pig blocks after you have sewn together the strip sets. Measure and cut your pig blocks the size of your strip sets, not the size listed in the pattern. That way if your piecing is off a little the pig blocks can accommodate that.

Have fun! I am working on quilt #2 for my husband this year. The first one was lightweight and he has requested a heavier one for the winter. Spoiled isn't he!?

I have not ideas for you on what kind of quilt to make, but that fabric sure made me smile!

You can also use the fabric in the border, or use uncut fabric in one of the hexagons. It's fun looking at one of the patterns in a OBW and figuring out what it was, especially if the original fabric was of something non-flower-like. I did one with a dog fabric and people are always finding the noses, or tongues, or such.

What is "warm wishes"? Does anyone have the pattern or website?

Love the Piggies! Good luck with it! :D :D :D

It would be a cute print for the backing or a nice border print for the front. I would use rather simple blocks so the pig print would stand out.
