    I was given 2 FQ, so I made an apron using a QAYG log cabin pattern for the top and the 2nd FQ was just large enough for the skirt.

    Agree with all the other stash builders.

    Good thing I don't have to have a project for every "extra" yard of fabric that I have in my house! :roll:

    One yard is perfect for a car/airplane-sized lap blanket! Just get a flannel to put on the back (prewash), sew it together and knot every so often to hold it all together. Perfect gift for a traveler. It rolls up nice and small and you can tie it shut with a ribbon.
    Idea # 2 (and it may already be mentioned) If it is a kid-friendly print do as above and donate it to Project Linus.
    Idea #3 (Sorry, the ideas are flowing!) Make a pillowcase for ConKerr Cancer. They have the pattern on their website with ydg requirements.
    Have fun with it!

    That is why I don't buy fabric online. You can't see the actual shade or feel the fabric beforehand. I would see if you had something to pair it with and make 9 patches that you can alternate with solid blocks.

    Make an apron... it only takes 1 metre... turn it on point and fold the top point down about 8 inches.... and back it with another or else you can use it as a backing for one that is to your liking.

    Just put it in your stash, in time you will find a use for it.

    Keep it and let it age, like fine wine, and then it will be there for that special project and it will be the perfect fabric.
