Every once in a while I find a fabric I just MUST buy. Then it can be a challenge to decide how to use the fabric to highlight the reason I love it. I recently used the BQ2 pattern for a couple of these fabrics and I like the way it worked out.

The first fabric I just “had to have” is Wild Blossoms by Moda. Here’s a picture from the Moda site. It may not be clear on my blog, but you get the idea. It’s an ombre print across the width of fabric.

I modified the dimensions of the blocks in the BQ2 pattern because I had exactly one yard of the feature fabric, and here’s the final quilt.

The second “must have” fabric was this cat print designed by Chong-A Hwang, whose designs I frequently admire.

I had enough of this fabric to make a twin-sized quilt for one of our guest beds. I hope the guests like cats!

I recommend this pattern for big prints you want to show off. The pattern is well written and the blocks are big so the quilt is quick to make. I’ll probably be using it again.

Anybody else out there have favorite patterns?
