    Have you tried a Stack N Wack? Large prints work the best, you get the most movement in the blocks, especially is there is leveral different colors in the print. I made this quilt several years ago. The border fabric is the fabric the blocks are made from, it's so much fun to see the patterns emerge as you put them together.

    Stack N Wack, border fabric is what they are made from

    I would reccommend the Stack & Whack or the OBW also. They both come out beautiful with large floral prints.
