I came across this fabric and just had to have it. I purchased a yard. Then a month and a half later, I went back to the quilt shop and purchased 2 more yards. Now after looking it over, I am at a loss on how to use it in a quilt. At first, I was thinking about using it as a 6 or 8 inch border. Then I started thinking about fussy cutting it and placing a border around each cut.

Then when taking the pictures, I noticed that I bought the same print on two different backgrounds.

I am open to all suggestions. Thanks for any advice.

I am thinking a warm wishes quilt...you could use both background color fabric as your focus fabric.

It would make a great bag...like one of those bow tuck bags. Just a thought. :)

I had the same thought.

I love these ideas. Keep them coming.

For erstan947 and quiltingcandy - can you tell me more about the beach hat? Are there patterns out there for matching totes and hats? I have never saw patterns for hats before. I must live a sheltered life. lol.

Thanks for the input to all of you.

What about a BQ. I love the beach hat idea as well and hope to follow this thread re: pattern.

What's a BQ? I have not heard of this before.
