Don't blame your daughter or not liking it. I wouldn't either. But that is just my opinion!!! Sure you will find a project for it.

Hi Ruth, You are right! It really is Guns-N-roses fabric! I think their drummer, Steven Adler, has tattoos just like the designs on that "gorgeous?" fabric! Karen in La.

I have been doing some serious thinking and all of your ideas are great ones..Trading it would be awesome, just not sure how to go about doing that..I need some "teal" and "brown" colored fabric..And or maybe seeing if I can sew something with it..I would have to sell what ever I sew because no one in my family likes the fabric lol..

Cut it up in squares, add a second square on top and sew into HST's. Will hide most of it this way. I'm thinking 2 1/2 to 3 inch squares.

I agree it might be a really nice Stack n Whack. Right now I am hooked on Stack n Whack, the 60 degree Triangle Magic, I am working on five (5) of them. I have two (2) ready for the quilter and am working on the other three as we speek. I only bought the fabric for one (1) last Saturday, I was so excited about the fabric I could not wait to get started. Cut it out on Saturday. So , so, pretty. May have it together before the end of the day.

Aww, I would love to see pictures of it..I bet it is very pretty..I have never made a quilt before nor a top of a quilt but I am almost finished with my first one, my pinwheel quilt..Only a few more squares to go, than a boarder or sash, than sandwich it and quilt it..I am so excited :-D ( I do have another in the making ,a string quilt)..My youngest daughter told me yesterday "Mom, you finally found something your good at with sewing" LOL..She did not mean that in a bad way( just tried making clothes and failing miserably at it.).I will have to check out how to Stack and Whack it sounds very interesting..
