Has anyone made a quilt with the new realistic looking Vegetable fabrics? I think they are so pretty but can't figure out what to do with them with the big scale photo type prints and bright colors. I need some ideas.

I made a couple of canning jar quilts with them.

Me too.

Not yet, but sure love those canning jar quilts. So cute.

What about a OBW? I have yet to make one, but I sure like them and I think the riot of color would be great!

I have some set aside for a canning quilt, but I'm drawn to the suggestion of a OBW. I may try that instead.

How about shopping bags?

Napkins for the summer!

I made tater bakers:

You could also do a Sudoku 9-patch.

I saw this in a show once, and thought it was quite striking.

table clothes, napkins, placemats, coasters, kitchen wall hangings...lots of options

You could make grocery totes. LOL

That is a cute idea! It staggers my mind, the amount of creativity of the people in this group.

Me too. The pictures people post are very inspiring. Beautifal
works of art. :thumbup:

i talked to my grandma last night. She said she bought some "real looking" vegetable fabric... i wonder if this is what she meant....
shes using them on the jar lids for her canning this summer

Could just cut out big squares of them to "show off" each piece.

OK, I have to ask....... What is a OBW?

I made a "jar" quilt with them:

boston 1954 - Good idea,thank you. I have started a OBW using my veggies. I took a class with veggies for this and am looking forward to finishing this. But I liked your picture too. Thank you

OBW is a One Block Wonder :D

I like the idea of canning jar quilts, kitchen wall hangings, appliance covers too.

I made placemats

Ok, Mom, my sister and I, all sewers, Have looked up OBW online and in our books and we can't find what this is.

am making a 9-patch using fruits and vegetables with a very large center square
It'll be called EAT YOUR BROCCOLI

Another one with candies, potato chips, big Macs etc. I haven't got a name in mind yet.

I really like all the other suggestions you've gotten too.

Feast your eyes on these one block wonders! Very pretty, I think!

Call me dumb, but even after looking at these (very pretty, BTW), I'm still not sure what a one block wonder is. Is it a quilt all of the same block? One piece of fabric? I need a definition I guess.

I gave mine to my sis in law and she is making aprons with them

This is the one I made from Fat Quarters Too book

I just finished this quilt top.

OBW sounds like that would be neat.

I have several and am going to make a quilted tablecloth out of them. I really love the canning jar quilt!

RJR is coming out with still more of their Farmer's Market fruit and vegetable fabrics. Completely new: pomegranates and cabbage. You can see them all on RJR's site here:

I made a valance of one row of fruit jars with a picture window frame around it. So it looks like a shelf with fruit jars on it.I found some 4"x8" realistic looking fabric on e-bay. so my valance has 12 different jars on it. also bought some fabric with printed jars on it to make place mats. I haven't made them yet.I think this fabric is really fun.

This is such a cute jar pattern. different than everything else I've seen. will you tell me where you got the pattern for the jars. your quilt is just so cute.

The jar pattern is a applique pattern that I did on my embroidery machine. I bought the pattern at oregonpatchworks embroidery mall. Just put in "jar applique" in the search and you should be able to find it.

thanks so much.

I LOVE this! I have a bunch of Farmer John prints...I was going to make a Turning Twenty but this might be better. Sure looks great!

I made a tablecloth.

Look up "one block wonders" and you will get instructions.

My sister moved to Florida,and misses blueberry time here in Michigan,so I made her pillowcases with the blue berry one,My family loves the 20 minute pillowcases and they all ask for them with most of my stash, really how many do you need?

I'm using red chile pepper fabric along with some of the realistic fruits: blueberries, lemons, bananas mixed in with lots of bright batiks for a kaleidoscope quilt I'm working on right now. I hope it will all work together.
