What can I do with cotton velveteen?
I have five different colors of cotton velveteen that I'm not quite sure what to do with. I think it could be used in crazy quilting but I don't do that type of design and I don't want to make pillows. Suggestions? FYI I have 1yd black, 1 1/4 yd blue, 1 yd wine red, 3 yd total burgandy, and 1 yd raspberry.

Tote, wall hanging, lap quilt, etc.
It would do quite nicely in a large square D9P, rail fence, or similar simple square or rectangle design. Take advantage of the beautiful fabric! Use it in good size chunks...no little bitty pieces. |
How about a disappearing 9 patch? The colors would be beautiful together. You could embroider on them if you wanted, and you could add braid or trim/lace if you wanted to make it appear to be a crazy quilt. If you want to incorporate some satins or silks, a good cream or black would be great. Good luck, post pics. Linda

When I see the word velveteen, I always think of the story The Velveteen Rabbit. Make a velveteen rabbit with its own little quilt.

Perhaps use some of the leftover pieces to make a pincushion~

??need to stabilize it---crazy would be my first choice----stain glass would look fantastic if you can find a design to suit--there is always--just shapes -- the fabric is the story

Do you need a new tree skirt or stockings for Christmas? I think you should consider a bit of simple crazy quilting--maybe a table runner. Those colors would be beautiful.

Just remember you can't press or iron velvet or velveteen. This makes it a bit limiting.
