You could frame them and make quilt tops or put sashing between to make tops or throws out of them, make wall hangings, purses, tote bags, etc. Depends a lot on the type of fabric these squares are. |
Sounds like fabric panels is what you're describing. They come in all types of fabric for upholstery, fleece, jersey and cotton for quilting. Depending on what fabric they are--wallhangings, table toppers, dresser scarves, quilts, almost anything.
Try searching for big quilt blocks or medallion quilts if you're thinking about turning them into a throw or bed-size quilt. Basically you cut out the panel and make borders around it until it reaches the size you want. |
Try different manufacturer's web sites. Many of them have a section with free patterns. They show different ways of using these :D:D:D

Those ducks would make a very nice quilt for a duck hunter! I would cut them out--losing squiggly lines and flowers--and put a wide plaid sashing between them. Then maybe a round of bear paw or log cabin blocks around that or both--maybe even a Flying Geese border.
Those are some really neat panels you found! |
Thanks for the idea, sounds good, I only have the four. The bear claws sound good. Would I then need to put a border. As you can tell I'm a newbie.
The other ones are thicker material and I have more of them. Was thinking maybe place mats, but they are so pretty I would rather have them in a quilt. |
