Hi! I have bought this fabric from the shop in Hannibal over 2 trips. Sales and stuff.
I love it a LOT but don't have any ideas what to do with it. I don't want anything too easy. I do like a challenge, but I don't want to do a wedding ring either. Patchwork is my favorite and I like prairie points too. I want something at least lap size.
The first 2 pics are all together. the xecond 2 will have letters and yardage for lights and darks.
I can't wait to see the ideas. Soo excited! :D

here are closer looks with measuring tape and yardage.
A 2 yards
B 2 yards
C 1.5 yards
D 1 yard (stripes are horizontal... follow the salvedge from left to right)
E 1 yard
F 2 fat quarters
G 2.5 yards
H 4 yards
I 2 yards
I am not worried if I have backing fabric. I almost never buy that until top is done. Unless something talks to me. :)

Gorgeous fabric! You can make a lovely black and white quilt, I've done a red & white one and it's gorgeous, two or three color quilts really make a statement. I would fussy cut a few fabrics and the rest I'd use designs that would showcase the fabrics, like hourglass, friendship stars, I'd stay away from tiny piecing project, unless it's like an Irish Chain that connects a pattern. And several of your fabrics would make fabulous purses and totes! So with the extra fabric, that's what I'd do!
Kind Regards,

PS I'm much like you, I have a 'love affair' with fabric, buy when on sale, and then plan my project.

I would put the striped fabric with the lights, add one more light, and do a log cabin. A bolder color for the center (hearth) block would really make it pop.
I love the fabric, too. What line is it?
Here is a link to a good log cabin pattern:

Thanks for reminding me of that pattern.
