Vintage / Antique quilts
I bought a bundle of beautiful soft coloured fabrics at a quilt show last week, but on opening found they were fat 1/8s and not fat 1/4s. So have been busy looking for the correct sizes pieces, and just ordered the final two this a.m. (Don't feint when you see the prices, this is what we pay for good fabric here)

My problem is - where have all those photos of lovely vintage/antique quilts gone now that I have the fabric. Hopefully all you ladies and gents have suggestions. I don't want dresden fans or applique. Do you think crazy patchwork would suit, as I am almost resigned to doing that?

Oh now see, that looks somewhat like the Robyn Pandolph fabrics i have a lot of. Romantic prints to me. I have no idea what to do with them as I am definitely not in a romantic mood and no one is getting married that I know of. so no ideas from me.
