I am planning a redwork (embroidered) snowman quilt, and this weekend I found the most fabulous aqua fabric with little dots of red in it. It is starting to take shape in my head, but I would like something kind of unique, using red fabric, with splashes of the aqua, and maybe white or grey?? I'm not sure, does anyone have any suggestions? Log cabin, or Ohio Star...
Thanks in advance

I see you are from Indiana! Are you familiar with Needle and Thread quilt shop in Valpo? If so, you probably know they sustained a fire several months ago. All of the fabric was only smoke damaged, so the owner sent it out to be professionally cleaned. She is now offering all of her fabric (and she has a LOT of great fabric) at $5/yard! She has moved to 404 Lincolnway. I walked in and I can assure you, there is absolutely NO smell of smoke. I bought 6 yards in total, several different fabrics. Definitely worth a visit to her shop if you are close by. Only accepting cash and checks at this point until she gets up and going again.

Here are some pictures of what I got (so far); the aqua is "Sophie by Chez Moi for Moda" and is very pretty in person. Actually, I think the toile I got at a quilt show on the same day...
