    Default quilt pattern using fat eighths

    I have a kit I bought from Connecting Threads on clearance at least a year ago that is for a wall hanging but there is plenty of fabric for a full size quilt. There is over a yard of a beautiful focus fabric and 15 fat eighths not to mention almost 2 yards of a solid fabric. I need a easy block pattern that would work with all the different fat eighths and the focus fabric. It needs to be simple because I do not do the really small pieces due to shoulder issues that limit the amount of cutting and sewing I can do at a time plus I got a nick on my cornea last spring that I can still "feel" if I do a lot of close up stuff (I'm a mess!) . I have just started sewing again and using my computer a little in the last couple of months. I can't think of a thing other than a D9P and I have made 2 of those and would like to do something different. I look forward to all the ideas that you all will have.

    I have a pattern for a star quilt that used fat eights and 2 plain focus fabrics but it used triangles on a roll. Or a shadow box quilt might work also. PM if interested and I can send pics through an email.

    Thanks, I forgot about MSQC, I found several I liked there. I never thought about cutting the eighths down to charm size. I could get several charms out of each one.
