A Good Pattern For That Fabric You Hate To Cut Into Small Pieces

I'm working on a gift "couch quilt" for a friend who loves to visit Disney World in Florida at least once a year so she can enjoy the perfection of all the flower beds she sees there. (The back of this quilt has a vintage Mickey Mouse design.)

I thought I would offer this "Slide Show" pattern by Atkinson Designs as an idea to anyone who has a fabric that he or she does not want to cut up into small pieces. The large squares are very good for showcasing a dramatic print, and some oriental type fabrics would probably look absolutely scrumptious in those "slides".

    That is a great pattern for me - I have loads of floral fabric I got for a quilt I never got done! Thanks for sharing.

    Great quilt!
    I have tons of fabric I hate to cut
    (that's my story & I'm sticking to it) The florals are spectacular.
