I have only made quilts according to patterns, (not clever enough to try on my own!), so if there is a particular pattern you know of that would suit this fabric (1 yard, only), please let me know.
    Thanks!
    Save it for this year's ugly fabric contest!

    Yes, that is what I first thought! But, believe me, I have one worse-even worse than last years that I posted (IF that is even possible!) LOL

    tee hee

    Fussy cut it, make wallhanging and name it "Not that for supper?" I'm not sure but let us know what you decide on.

    How about a OBW..wall hanging? I think it would look great with Dark brown or black.

    Yikes, it is hilarious! I like the bag idea......but it would be stolen in a flash! However, you could certainly identify it if you caught the mugger!
    Actually, no kidding, it would make a great, very unusual bag.
    I love that you bought something so unique!

    It probably would, but I have never made one before, and got a really beautiful large floral print to try one-it's still sitting waiting patiently in my stash!! Good suggestions, though!
