Fabric stetched over an artist's canvas frame makes a great gift or auction item!
After machine embroidering the elephant design onto a fat quarter, I centered the design over an artists stretched canvas frame and then staple gunned the sides onto the back of the frame. This is for my great-niece's nursery.
Other ideas to make fabric frames fast:
Use a pretty print from your stash or novelty print themes that go well with a child's room ...trains, abc's , frozen......
Use an orphan block and add low loft batting or flannel to back it...add quilt designs if desired.
I found my artist canvas frame at Hobby Lobby. There is a variety of sizes and shapes to choose from to suit your project size....Remember to allow extra fabric to fold around the frame sides.

Hey copycat...glad you posted this.
I have used this idea for artwork for my home.
I bought a modern graphic-type fabric and stretched it over a large canvas and use it over the mantel area in the living room. Works great and easy/cheap to change when redoing the room.
I use appropriate fabrics and canvas sizes for different rooms.
