I love the fruitbottom ladies! They just make me smile. I bought some last year on a shop hop. Originally I was going to make curtins for the kitchen in our condo in FL, but was concerned about fading.
So, I ended up doing a screenplay tote bag and a large lap quilt. Mine was the border fabric of these ladies. I made rows of red and white pinwheels and alternated them with rows of fruitbottoms. I've also seen them worked up as a border on beach towels. Very cute.
Have fun working with them!
