    Default Need Pattern Ideas for Fabric

    I purchased this fabric a few years ago, and ran across it last week while cleaning out a bin. Any pattern suggestions on how it should be used? Each blocks measure approx. 5" x 8".

    Thanks.

    You could echo around the ladies or interior of the frames or mix it up. Like some echoing of the frame patterns or wavy lines. Each one different from the next but connected.

    Anxious to see what you come up with from others' suggestions.

    I do a "whole cloth quilt" out of it (4 x 3 squares with no repeats) maybe with a fun pieced border or two and then quilt behind each lady and SITD around each frame. But I wouldn't cut it because you would loose part of each frame in seam allowance and it might be hard to get them straight again!

    I don't know how to find them, but there have been a couple of threads with pictures of what othe members did with this fabric. I remember one with sashing around each image

    There was a cute one on the QB within the last week. I just put Bee Happy in the advanced search block and it came up. I could not copy the title, however.

    if it is not big enough as a 'whole cloth' cut each block and put wonky borders on each one. this fun fabric would look great in a fun setting, imho

    I posted my Loralie Designs "Don't Worry Bee Happy" quilt last week. I think I've got this panel also (I know I've got the Christmas one). You could do something as simple as add another frame around them or multiple frames.

    Really cute fabric! I'm not sure what to do after, but you gotta cut em, that's what we do, right, cut fabric apart, then sew it back together! LOL!
