HELP! Pattern suggestions
Hi everyone
I know this is a great place to come to for suggestions. I got a bunch of M&M fabrics from eBay. I want to make DH a lap size quilt for Christmas but I have no idea at all on what to do with these fabrics. I've posted them all he http://inspiring-thoughts.tripod.com/christmas/help.htm Any and all suggestions appreciated Shirley (BC Canada) |

I love those fabrics! It looks like some kind of an all season holiday
quilt would be in order with all the different holiday fabrics. Or maybe even a "four season according to chocolate" quilt? That would be really neat - an M&M holiday quilt! Let us know what you do.

Thanks Bonnie
That's what I was thinking, but how to put it together? I saw a free pattern for an Anvil block that doesn't look too difficult. My snowballs are definately out, I can't get them straight.

However, I've not gotten around to it yet - and I don't have either the Irish one or that particular Easter one - if I find out which ones I have, do you fancy trading squares?

I'll have to see what I'm doing with these first Suzie. Those 2 I only have
small amounts of. I have lots of the christmas one on black. Attic windows sounds like a good plan though.

those are very cute love them!!, why not make a chocolate packet quilt yeah I know all M&M's anyway but what I mean is instead of standard squares make rectangular peices with small triangles stitched along the end of each so each rectangle would look like a packet / sachet of choco's ..

I like pinwheels using the red, blue, green, yellow, etc with the M&M
prints. Or maybe friendship stars. Maybe alternate with blocks of the prints. I almost said alternate with snowballs but guess that's out. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Shirley Ellen" wrote in message ...
