Need suggestion for pattern

[janetbragdon]

I am a fire board member and want to make a quilt to be auctioned off for our new fire station we are building. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which quilt-in-a day quilt pattern (queen size) I could use wherein the middle square of each block could hold a nice size action photo of our volunteer firefighters? I would also like to put a photo in the middle of the quilt of our new station. I am a intermediate quilter and would like to do this within the next 6 months. All ideas will be appreciated.

Nana, I just did a quilt for my dad, the pattern is in the Quilts for All Seasons book, the last one in the book. I think its crossroads or something like that. But it has large squares and chain blocks. I made mine in about a weekend (if I could have sat and done it straight through, no interruptions). Mine was a lapsize.

Hope this helps!

Nana's garden could be adapted to something like that with the pics in the center squares and the piecing all around

I just did a Pink Lemonade and it has 6" squares in the middle of the block. Is that large enough?

how about Irish chain.. it is easy and you can put pictures in the middle...

Have you thought about using a block that resembles flames? Maybe the New York Beauty with another block for your pictures?
