Bill's Workshop
For the past week or so, I've been thinking about the FQ pack of A Morris Workshop that I bought months ago when the line first came out. I've fondled the living daylights out of them and bought some yardage that I found at an amazingly good price, and that's as far as I've come. I love the fabrics and have had the urge to start my project. Trouble is: I don't know what my project is yet!
I wandered around the internet looking for inspiration. There were some really pretty projects people have made. Like this one. And this one. But they struck me as -- somehow -- angular and I guess I was thinking of something softer. If you get my drift. I've thought about Dresden Plates. Have never made one, purchased the tool last summer, and have seriously considered using this Bundle of Bill for Dresden Plates. But I'm not sure.
Have you bought this line? Done something with it? Do tell!
And while I wait to hear from you, I'm going where I so often go for inspiration, over to Nicole's, to look through some of her past projects and perhaps something there will shout "Bill!" to me.

I took a look at Nicole's site. How about Moor is Moor or Rosettes? Dresden Plates might work, but I think another pattern might showcase the lushness of that fabric better. Fig Tree has a pattern that gives the illusion of curves: French Quarter. I like the idea of baskets because that fabric just makes me think of baskets/urns of flowers, but how to make them so that they are less angular?
I've never been a big fan of Dresden Plates, and I think Pat is right, that it may not be the best pattern to show off those luscious Bill fabrics.
I think you have to bite the bullet and determine not to use every single print in the line in one quilt.
