I'm thinking armless women with big shoes on. What about paint, application and free motion to turn it into a bunch of wild and wacky women?

I think it is a kitchen print. Doesn't it look like canning jar tongs and slotted spoons? I agree with the suggestion of a tote. pillow or even stack and whack. I was also thinking that if you cut it just right you could make it look like those ink blot pictures that psychiatrists use to analyzes their patients!

Whatever you end up doing with it, please post your photos of the finished product. I know that we are all curious to see what you do with it!

If you are in the US, I would love to exchange a half yard of fabric from my stash. Give me a color, stripes, dots, novelty, etc. We can PM mailing addresses.

I would say, if you really like the material, use it for a quilt lining and make it reversible
