Any creative thoughts on how to use them together, and which pattern to try? I'm trying to figure out whether to use the electric blue as a filler or if I should use black against the brights...I know I'll need some more of some color.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Don't cut the FQ!
Instead take the fabric to your printer and make a copy of the part of the fabric that has your favorite cat in the middle. Take the printed paper copy and cut out your favorite cat. Now blow that up 250% or 300%.
Magically you have a pattern to make a big cat to applique onto the front of the FQ.Just the shape is enough. Practice making a face with a permanent marker - or embroider it.
Then use the strips to make borders until you get the size of quilt you want.
