Use the two fabrics to make a block/quilt and use the stripe to cut (perpendicular to the stipe so it looks "pieced) strips to use as sashing, border or binding, depending on how much you have. I love to use narrow strips of stripes as a first, narrow inner border.

I got excited about The Garden Twist pattern until I saw that you have to buy a booklet with the rest of the instructions (assembly). I've run into that a bit lately. Very disappointing when you think you are getting a free pattern. Am I missing something?

How much of the fabric do you have? You could make a purse/bag/tote or a "magic" pillowcase or a 10-minute table runner or a quilt? Good luck choosing! I have LOTS of gorgeous fabric that I REALLY like & don't want to cut! I can't decide what to do with it either. What I need is someone to say here, do this! The people on this site will always steer you in the right direction; they are so experienced and quite willing to share their ideas. I LOVE THIS SITE!

Love this tutorial for making various quilt blocks from just striped fabric. Thanks for sharing.

You could use the stripe as the binding.
