Any help is greatly appreciated.
HOw about fabric embellishment?. I make a fabric sandwich with fat quarters and a firm poly batting (can't remember the name). You need to pin the sandwich. then couch novelty yarns all over to quilt the sandwich. You can do swirls or straight lines. You can then make a tote, using binding to cover the raw edges. I've gifted all the ones I've made or I'd post a picture :-) you can make a small lunch size tote from a pair of FQs, or a larger one from 4. Or, do a bunch, recut into squares & make a scrp quit.
