With that much fabric my first thought is to use it as the back and borders. Any left can be used on the front as the focus fabric. :) DH did VERY well. Congrats!

If you have too much I would buy a yard or 1/2 yard from you. I'd make a pillow since my sign is the same as yours.

Here's one I made for my nephew. It measures 38" or so, but can be really any size you want. It's great for fabric you don't want to cut up! I LOVE the corner stars, I made them wonky on this one and used several shades of yellow. Re the border colors, the inner border was supposed to be one color and the outer border a second color. My DH suggested changing them up, but that left the very outer corner with no clear identity. As I'd already sewn it at that point, I didn't want to reverse sew it, so I put in the blue fabric.

At the binding I added the flat welt (flange) and deliberately made it wonky too, but in places it looks like I just didn't know how to sew a staight line...if I do that technique again, I'll use a wider strip for the flange and really do it up right! :?

Someone recommended stars for your fabric and I agree. You will have so much fabric, you can afford to fussy cut the centre squares. I did this on an Eleanor Burns pattern called Morning Star (in Quilts Through the Seasons book). Think it would be cool for your fabric. P.S. Hubby is a keeper to be sure! Wonder how many men there are out there that actually "listen." Guess that's another topic....ha ha!

WOW! I think I would get fabric with all the signs, incorporate some of fabric you DH purchased and use the rest for the backing .....follow the theme.

I would use it to back a quilt - making it a reversible quilt. Plan the quilting to accentuate the celestial side. Very pretty fabric. Are you an aquarian?

I have some zodiak fabric that I searched hard and long for to make pillow cases, gifts for people according to their birthdays. It is beautiful fabric and the cases will be lovely, but I don't know what I would do with eight yards!

This would be my choice. 8 yards is sure big enough for a quilt. Just think of the colors you could use. I love the colors. My favorites. What a great DH.

that is really neat fabric and you got a wonderful hubby for buying the fabric for you.
