quest for blocks

This may sound crazy, but I'm looking for quilt patterns or blocks
suitable for a small wall hanging in a bathroom. Anyone know of a site
or book? Thanks for any help.

You could try going to http://www.quiltshops.com/search.htm and put, bath,
bubbles or rubber duck, etc. in the search and come up with some appropriate
prints to put into the blocks of your choice for a bath themed wall hanging.
Is that what you had in mind? If you're talking about one of those futzy
scenic mural thangz with a bathroom theme fugidaboudit.......It took our
Butterfly who knows how long to get me off the couch and she's run out of
smelling salts

No, not crazy at all. I went with tropical fish for a wall hanging in
my bathroom. Rubber duckies, dolphins, beach scenes, and river scenes
are all good themes that you could run with.

If you want specific traditional pieced blocks--Hole in the Barn Door,
Mariner's Compass, Duck Feet, Atlantic Seas, Storm at Sea, Beacon
Lights, Water Wheel, Watermill, Wavy Navy, Lady of the Lake, Leap
Frog, Lost Ship, Coast Guard Star, Lighthouse or Ship blocks would
work.

Applique blocks can easily do almost any theme, as can paper pieced
ones.

Also, try looking for novelty fabric and use a block that will show
off a big print, or do something similar to my wall hanging and just
sew strips together to form a scene.

You could make some cute outhouses from those tall birdhouse blocks I see a
lot of- just turn the circle for the bird to enter into a crescent moon
higher up. Could do jazzy colors or more traditional with ribbon embroidery
flowers around. Or you could get really fancy and make the doors open.

I seem to recall someone here doing a cute "outhouse" quilt. I think
something like that would be appropriate.
