Quilts from Large Scale Prints

Hi all. Opinions please?

What sort of quilt would you make if the main fabric in question was a very
large print? I'm talking animals on a juvenile novelty print that are
anywhere from 4" long (head to tail) to 7" long? I'm already doing a quillow
with another fabric of a similar scale, because it just wouldn't work to be
cut into pieces. The only thing I can think of is to do a really large scale
attic window sort of thing, with the creatures in the windows.

Argh! What would you do? Any good pattern ideas out there, other than just
giant squares?

How about irregular log cabin? Cut out each animal to whatever size
suits it. Put irregular logs around each one. That's what I did he

I like what Sandy Turner does with them. She wrote an article for
Quilters Newsletter last fall. You can see pictures and such from it
he

Also, Diane Weber makes patterns designed for large scale prints. You
can see them he

Hope that gives you a start.

Thanks. It will be going to my son in law for Christmas. He and DD met in
a college music class.
