    I have two fq bundles of 5 fabrics that are the same that I got for christmas. I am wanting to make them into a baby quilt. what pattern would you guys suggest? all the fabric is really close in color for the back ground color. It is a neon limey green background with pinks and browns. I will take a pic in a little bit of all five fabrics. I am just not finding one that I like yet. I was just thinking of doing simple squares for the baby quilt. but not sure if that is what I want to do. any help would be wonderful.

    I would keep it simple - like 4 or 9 patches, with maybe some sashing. And do an allover quilt design. Remember it will be washed alot, so make it sturdy!! I'm sure whatever pattern you decide on, it will be loved.

    How about the tumbler. Its simple but has just a little design to it. Modabakeshop.com tutorial of the tumbler. And theres very little waste of fabric.

    Me too! I'd make a rail fence. Easy & can be the size you'd like!
