Look what I bought recently because I saw it and had to have it. But.......how will I use it to it's best potential? I have several ideas but there are not great. Can anyone relate to this spontaneous impulsiveness and please give any creative suggestions as to how to use it? Thanks in advance.

I love it!!! Gotta have it!!!!! Where did you get it? LOL
I did that with some "quilting quotes" a few years ago!! Our guild had an "ugly fabric" challenge at our quilt show last year. So I used the ugly fabric as borders around the "quotes" and WON!!! LOL. Now you are going to make me find the pics and post them; arent you!!!

Cut it apart add sashings to make bigger and put back together

sewcrafty 03-13-2011 07:21 AM

Make individual little wallhangings you can place around your sewing room. Fabric is adorable, want to share where you got it? :-D

wolph33 03-13-2011 07:34 AM

that is so cool

rdorminy 03-13-2011 07:37 AM

Love them. I'd be busy making toss pillows and throwing them around my sewing room, LOL

pamkasperi 03-13-2011 07:38 AM

That is so cute - where did you find that?

whinnytoo 03-13-2011 07:45 AM

definitely make wallhangings, pillows, whatever to decorate your sewing room! Love em!

Tilladare 03-13-2011 07:50 AM

How about shopping bags for fabric shopping?

scrapykate 03-13-2011 07:51 AM

love the wall hanging idea. Put them up in place around the house where you have to be but can't be because life gets in the way. That way you can look at it and smile.

quilter1943 03-13-2011 07:51 AM

Okay, Stitchin, where did you find these. Absolutely adorable and finally something I want for my very own!!

Ramona Byrd 03-13-2011 08:28 AM

Make a lap quilt for either yourself or another quilter. She/he would be more likely to enjoy this kind of pattern.

By the way, my address is..

crafty_linda_b 03-13-2011 08:31 AM

Why not just frame them and hang them as pictures in your sewing room? Cute fabric..enjoy..Linda B.

shawnemily 03-13-2011 08:33 AM

WOOO HOOO I FOUND THEM!!!! :):):):)

I would make a big lap quilt and really, really enjoy it.

BellaBoo 03-13-2011 08:46 AM

The fabric pics would make great pincushions! The big oversize square pincushions are fantastic and so useful, they never get lost on the sewing table. Dust covers for your machine, a slip cover for your sewing chair comes to mind too.

CarrieAnne 03-13-2011 09:06 AM

How cute!

CarrieAnne 03-13-2011 09:06 AM

How cute!

quilter1943 03-13-2011 09:08 AM

I just ordered two and it's going to be a fluffy quilt for me!!!

my idea too.

sewbizgirl 03-13-2011 10:06 AM

I would also use it to make something to hang in the sewing room. If you are a traveling quilter, you could applique some of these on your sewing machine cover, tote bags, etc, for your quilting stuff you carry.

I am very gratefull for your suggestions. Shawnemily wrote the above and yes I would like to see your creation.

I bought it in Cornwall UK at a small quilt shop. It was the last one. It's made by Nutex and called Quilting Quips. I have searched for more on line and found it on Ebay here in Uk. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nutex-Quilters...-/110625441581 I will let you know what I decide to do. Hope the link helps and maybe some of you can get some. We will have to show the finished projects and compare! Thank you all.

KarenR 03-13-2011 02:52 PM

Lap quilt or pillows or wall hanging.

Split them up and make wall hangings for your entire house.

Where did you find that fabric? Impulse buy most of us would buy!

justlooking 03-14-2011 02:44 AM

Love the fabric!

Miss Priss 03-14-2011 03:00 AM

How about a window box?

Quilt-Till-U-Wilt 03-14-2011 03:17 AM

These are precious. I just ordered a set. Would be a cute wall hanging, pillows, tote bags, machine covers, framed seperately and hung in a group, little gifts for quilting friends. Thanks to whoever sent the site to buy them.

mimiknoxtaylor 03-14-2011 03:58 AM

I bought some fabric that's similar, but more vintage quilter's. I think I'll make a couple of sewing machine covers with mine

grammyv 03-14-2011 04:02 AM

heck, i'd frame it and hang it in my quilting room!:)

websydhan 03-14-2011 04:23 AM

SusanW 03-14-2011 05:12 AM

I love this! Where did you get it? Do you know who (the manufacturer) is -- I'd love to have a panel! Please let us know.
