    Default Ideas for this fabric?
    A little back history.

    Last week my friend bought a 55 gallon fish tank, and she
    set everything up waited for a week before adding any fish.

    She has a 5 month old kitten and as soon as she added the
    fish he decided he wanted to be a "sushi" hunter.

    Today I was at Joanns and found this fabric, I bought 1 yard
    to which I am keeping 1/2 yard and sending her the other 1/2.

    Now I need to figure out what to make with it. Any ideas?

    Cute!

    Tote bag, maybe?

    Or, in a scrappy quilt?

    Tote bag, or something else that won't cut the fabric into pieces so you lose the design. It will be too cute. froggyintexas

    Use big blocks (about 8.5") and alternate with a pieced block in fun colors. With sashing you can make a kid-sized quilt. Here is what I did with fabric that looks very similar.

    You can get eight squares that are 8.5" out of a half yard.
