I don't have the guts to cut this up. Don't know what I should do with it.

How about part of a pieced backing? It looks like a fun fabric. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Thank you for sharing.

You could cut it in strips. I like it too.

Thank you for your input.

You could use it as a border on a Southwest quilt.

GGinMcKinney 11-12-2011 09:28 PM

Great fabric! I would have trouble cutting into it also.

Oooo, such vibrant colors! You could stay with a SW theme, pieced border, etc or depending on how you cut and pieced it could look kind of like dahlias. Whatever you did would be striking. How fun!

Would a stack and whack quilt work?

Keep Them In Stitches 11-12-2011 11:06 PM

You could have use it as a backing. Love the fabric.

Rock Lady 11-13-2011 07:16 AM

When I saw the material I thought of a border or a stack and whack.

bjiwami 11-13-2011 07:20 AM

I'd fussy cut it into a border!

peppermint31 11-13-2011 07:36 AM

I would cut it in strips and use it as borders

luv-e 11-13-2011 08:37 AM

What about cutting into strips and putting flying geese inbetween them?????
Use it for a backing???

Nanaof4 11-13-2011 08:53 AM

Southwest theme would do it, love the fabric.

How about cutting it into long strips - along the edges of the chilies, and use it as a border around a large center block? or cut across the grassy part , and alternate those long blocks with green ones of the same size?

I was just in Albuquerque a few weeks ago and picked up a couple of FQ's of different chili pepper fabric. Frankly, I won't use them for anything, so if you need some coordinates, let me know. They're your's for the asking.

jc469273 11-13-2011 09:58 AM

What is you cut it in strips and put french braid in between the strips?

krafty14 11-13-2011 10:04 AM

How about a one block wonder? Do you have enough? Ann

QuiltnNan 11-13-2011 10:10 AM

AnnieF 11-13-2011 10:12 AM

Dolphyngyrl 11-13-2011 10:14 AM

Im thinking apron or placemats

Shelbie 11-13-2011 10:35 AM

It's awful (only my opinion, sorry) but would be wonderful for a guild challenge as in "Now what do I do with this?" or maybe the ugly fabric challenge.

gigi10 11-13-2011 10:38 AM

sell it to me......I love it.

amma 11-13-2011 11:10 AM

I really love the idea for using this as a border fabric :) :) :)

sue1964 11-13-2011 04:00 PM

Oh I know, You can send it to me... I love it!

quiltymom 11-13-2011 04:01 PM

I'd cut it into strips

lynnegreen 11-13-2011 04:07 PM

what about cutting up between the chili's and making a hanging banner to use outside when you BBQ or have gatherings. By cutting between the chili's and finishing the edges, sort of crinolin style, or even by backing with something, it could flutter in the wind. It could be brought in so it would not fade inbetween.

Mariposa 11-13-2011 04:13 PM

It would be great for a strippie quilt!! Using the chile fabric as the filler strips~~just a thought.

cheaha39 11-13-2011 04:15 PM

I love the fabric. Maybe fussy cut it for fan or dresden plate blocks, might get some great mirror images.

kathdavis 11-13-2011 04:37 PM

Make great borders.

Jazzz 11-13-2011 04:56 PM

I know how you feel!!! I'm sure whatever you decide, it will end up being part of a wonderful quilt!

butterjoy 11-13-2011 05:11 PM

I would like to see the finished product, post a pic :)

sassey 11-13-2011 06:00 PM

Could you please tell me where to find this fabulous fabric or who the maker is

3incollege 11-13-2011 06:03 PM

what about placemats?

Tweety2911 11-13-2011 06:05 PM

Those chili's will make a great strip quilt.

jaciqltznok 11-13-2011 06:07 PM

gypsyquilter 11-13-2011 06:43 PM

Auntie B 11-13-2011 06:53 PM
