I bought several vest panels back in the day when they were popular. Does anyone have any ideas or have you seen any patterns on what I could do with them (other than make vests LOL)
I think I saw a quilt at one time made from them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't remember what these look like. Could you please post a photo?

Thanks!

I will see if I can figure out how to do that!

I had one that I wore out, a long time ago. Thinking of making another one now. It had a fancy front and satin/polyester back, like some of the mens' fancy ones.
If I remember correctly, it had a lot of embroidered Indian markings on it, and some thickly embroidered turquoise jewelry.

Depending on what is on them, maybe you could use them for applique. Or cut them into blocks.

I'd say that you could probably at least cut some images off of them (depending on the images) and use them for blocks/or bricks (rectangles) and cut the remaining parts up for blocks..

I think someone used them for one block wonder quilt.

A big welcome from the eastern part of Texas.

You could cut them apart and use sections of them as focus squares/blocks.
