Ideas to use this fabric
 

I am looking for ideas to use this fabric for.
So far I thought about 1 long wall hanging
or maybe six small (one for each city) wall
hangings.

Sadly the local quilt shop close to home that I
bought it from buys fabric by the pound from
customers and then in turn sales it chain store
quality (Wal Mart, Joann's & Hobby Lobby) for
$1.99 per yard, and LQS quality fabrics for $5.00
per yard.


Low and behold they had this AWESOME fabric
but there was only this small 3/4 yard.

It is city skylines and this is now considered a
"collectors" fabric because it was printed in 1998
PRIOR to 9/11 happening.


The six skylines are (in order):

Seattle
Chicago
Washington D.C.
Hollywood
New York City (WITH the twin towers)
San Francisco

I like your idea of six separate wallhangings. The fabric is lovely, and I think would have more punch if you separate the individual skylines so your eyes don't just sweep across them. Potential for some embroidery there, as well...

Maybe a wide border with a pattern in the center?

If it is considered "collector" why would you cut it?

I remember that fabric! In its day I mostly saw it used for VW quilts - they were quite the rage down here. Maybe some sort of Americana theme (This land is your land, This land is my land, from California to the.....)

I agree. I would leave it whole.

NiceNice fabric. I think wallhangings would be your best bet.

I would only cut one repeat off because I have a friend
who lost 2 brothers, father and 1 aunt in 9/11. She collects
things of the towers as HER way to remember the good times
and to "honor" her family members who lost their lives.

Since I would be cutting that off amount to get the NYC section
I may as well use the other 5 city skylines to make something
cool to hang on a wall.
