I know the obvious, table toppers and wall hangings. But these don't seem big enough to be a throw or a couch cuddle blanket, what else does with them?
Thanks.
Do you mean 30-inch square quilts? I'm not familiar with Schnibbles.
I recently saw in a quilt magazine where someone stretched fabric over canvases from an art shop (these are ready-mades, where the canvas is already attached to the stretcher bars) and hung them on the wall. They recommended treating with a textile medium (I assume so that they can be dusted easily). This would work well also, I think, for quilt blocks and small sized quilts. It doesn't have to be just one canvas, either. The magazine showed about six of these in different fabrics hung on a wall to create what I would call an art statement.
Otherwise, I think a 30-inch square quilt could be used for a preemie blanket. Even for baby quilts, I think around 40 inches by 60 inches is the norm.
