I need some crafty input!
I had a coupon code for fabric.com so I went a little crazy and bought over $75 worth of stuff (but I got it for less than $50!) I got a half yard of eight different fabirc from Robert Kaufmans "Celebrate Seuss" line, I am in love with it!
I want to make a blanket for DS, something smallish, with minky on the back. My original plan was just plain 6" squares but now I am second guessing myself and thinking I could do something way cooler with this. Any ideas? What quilt pattern would you use with this fabric?
Re: I need some crafty input!
I made DS a quilt with it:

I did:
R-Rectangle S-Square
R1: R/S/R/S/R/S
R2:S/R/S/R/S/R
repeat for rows 3-8.
He also has a small rag quilt that was my first quilting project ever. It is a 20x20 lovey size backed with minky.

I love your quilt! It makes me want to buy more fabric from this line! And your son is ADORABLE...I am a sucker for sleeping baby pictures!
Thanks so much for sharing! Awesome inspiration!
My LQS had a quilt on display with this fabric- it was half windowpane blocks (like these
)
and half pinwheels- it looked really fun and Suessical.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Awww thanks!
Your little guy is adorable, too.
My quilt includes all the fabrics from the line. The rainbow stripe was used as the binding and I used the other 20 prints on the front. Each print is represented each time, either as 2Rs and 1S or 1R ans 2S.
I wanted a simple design with bigger blocks so the fabric could speak for itself. The Rs-6x8 and the S-6x6. Finished size was 42x60.

What fun fabric!
Since you don't have a huge variety of prints from the line, and those kinds of prints are so much fun to fussy cut, I would suggest a pattern like Elizabeth Hartman's Window Panes (I don't know the exact pattern name but it's from her book). You'd have to get the pattern though so that might be a bit spendy.
Otherwise I would look for any kind of pattern that features fussy cut squares and I would surround them with coordinating solids or simple patterns (polka dots, stripes, etc in primary colours).
