    Default Any ideas for this fabric?

    I went to my favorite LQS on Friday and picked up this
    fabric although I have no clue yet what I want to do with it.

    As you can see in one picture the wavy stripes go all the way
    to the end. This is just the border fabric I got. I didn't want
    the panel piece they had.

    This with this LQS is that they buy the majority of their fabric
    from the customers. So the chance of going back tomorrow to
    get more of these or the panel would be slim to none. Their
    fabrics tend to be mostly the out of print older fabrics. Which
    is why if you see something you like you buy it NOW as it will
    be gone next time you go in.


    The border fabric I only purchased 1/2 yard, and the other fabric
    1 yard.

    I have seen these prints. They are so lovely! Maybe you could make a small wall hanging. Use the ladies dancing as a top row and bottom row. Then use the green wavy fabric, the left over yellow and blue fabric and maybe one more color from your stash to make nine-patches to make up the center of the wall hanging. Or maybe it would be just enough fabric to do a table runner.

    I think a "dancing lady" bag would be pretty.

    I love the idea of a bag that you can carry out and about.

    I was in that shop earlier this year -- what a unique place. I don't have a clue what you should do with the fabric but it certainly is beautiful. Let us know what you decide to do with it.

    I bought the panel a few years ago to make a lap quilt with. They didn't have any of the other fabrics at the time, they are great too.

    I like the idea of a bag. Or how about a table topper something like these: http://www.jinnybeyer.com/promos/borderprojects It would depend on how wide the border is.

    I find that some fabrics are almost too pretty to cut; this one falls into that category for me. Good find! I agree that a wall hanging would be very nice.
