My guild had a guest speaker last night - she did a presentation on 'one block wonder' quilts. I think that orange fabric would be gorgeous in one of those quilts. I can't wait to make one myself. Oh gosh, a reason for buying more fabric - yippee!

So if you 9 patch is 5 inches your focus fabric could be a block of 5x5, 5x10 5x15, 10x 10, 10x15, and so on. then you arrange them in an eye pleasing manner. I made one, and just absolutely loved it. Wish my computer wasn't messed up so I could show you a picture of it.

Not a log cabin, those beautiful flowers would get lost. Love what MarjaMT did, those are gorgeous. Look thru some books/magazines and get some ideas, the fabrics are beautiful and you'll have a wonderful quilt from them. Orange is my favorite color and I love to see how others use it; I know a lot of people don't like it. I've never done a OBW or kaleidoscope but they'd be a great showcase.
Will look forward to hearing what you've decided.

How about a Through the window based on Faye Labanaris. The background xould be a small strip LC or a RailFence. Good Luck. If you decide not to use the Orange flowers, I know a quilter here who could use it,She loves orange.
