I went to my thrift store yesterday to see if they had any good fabric finds by any chance and low and behold I found 2 pieces of great cotton. Each piece was 3.5 yards by 44" long with no flaws. The price tag on each was $2. My question to you very knowledable ladies however is what should I make out of it? I think I would like something with large enough blocks so you can see the design. I don't know what to do. I am over thinking it . Got any ideas?

how about the simplest thing??
cutting 8" blocks of the anchors, then do the same with the stripes...then sew them together, but TURN the stripes, going horizontal on one row and vertical on the next..it will look great and be quick too boot!

If it was my fabric, I would add some Black Kona Cotton and WOW and make it the way Jacqui suggested, but adding the WOW for the finishing framing and Black for your outside Borders.
