auntpiggylpn 06-03-2012 09:46 AM

I don't have a clue but I want this fabric also! I'm thinking 7 yards and making a pair of pajamas!

Raggiemom 06-03-2012 09:50 AM

Pictures of the fabric?

virtualbernie 06-03-2012 11:36 AM

I've got some too. I'm watching this for suggestions!

Stichinluvr just posted a Lego quilt. Don't know the name of the block, but it looks like windows. That would be cute with the scardy cat fabric.

I'd like to see a picture. Anybody got one?

Yes!!! Send me a yard!!! (and she thinks I'm joking!!)

How about a Disappearing 9 patch with some movie reel, camera, or monster fabric


I'm serious about sending me a yard!!

lynnie 06-04-2012 07:28 AM

thanks for the suggestions
i thoiught of a jacket
i don't want to cut it too small and loose the effect. it's just too darn stinking cute. keep the ideas coming please.

Treasureit 06-04-2012 07:33 AM

Movie theme quilt? Big blocks of this fabric and then some popcorn - candy fabrics as other blocks or border. you could add pictures of theater tickets or movie posters too. Let your imagination go.

linda8450 06-04-2012 07:59 AM

I love it! Where can I get some? Will wait for suggestions of what to do with it...but want it now! Linda

Let me know when you find out! I love the fabric. Do they have scardy dogs? I just bought this frog fabric from Timeless treasures because I love it but can't think what to make. Maybe a tea cosy?? Any ideas for me?

I made a remote control holder for my sister-in-law using this fabric and the coordinating popcorn design. It turned out darling, but I forgot to take a picture of it befrore mailing it off to her. I used a table runner pattern from Tiger Lily Press called "Fundamemtally Fun" and then figured out a way to add pockets for the remote controls. It was a big hit.

lynnie 06-04-2012 09:07 AM

i got mine at a quilt show. timeless treasures makes it.
love those frogs. oooohhhh soooo cute.

cmw0829 06-04-2012 09:39 AM

Soooo cute!!

ArtsyOne 06-04-2012 09:47 AM

Love the fabric! How about an Attic Windows-type quilt with film-strip border?

Scakes 06-05-2012 02:55 AM

First time I've seen this fabric. It is so cute! Hope to see lots of quilts using it.

CathieB 06-05-2012 03:47 AM

I love that fabric - do you know who manufactures it?

nancyw 06-05-2012 04:10 AM

I love the idea of attic windows with filmstrip frame. When I read that I went yessss!

coopah 06-05-2012 04:16 AM

What about a purse/bag?

Geri B 06-05-2012 04:22 AM

A big medallion type center block of this fab, then using other fabrics make sashes, blocks, etc., to enlarge top...too cute to really "cut up" into anything....

applique 06-05-2012 04:33 AM

I agree a larger block with smaller ones to the side all sashed in black, or even warm wishes.,

girlsfour 06-05-2012 04:39 AM

No helpful ideas here but darling fabric!!!

faykilgore 06-05-2012 05:10 AM

I love and collect novelty cat fabrics and that is about as cute as it gets. I love the frogs, too! I DON'T NEED ANY MORE FABRIC! My name is Fay and I'm a fabriholic.
As for suggestions, snowball blocks fussy cutting groups of the cats would be cute. Not sure how big the print is, but you would want good sized blocks to show them off.

faykilgore 06-05-2012 05:11 AM

Any way you could put a movie screen into the quilt with monster fabric? Just a thought. Or better yet, DOGS!
I need to quit before I order this fabric for myself.

dahlshouse 06-05-2012 05:16 AM

Your fabric is adorable... how about a snowball ... find some popcorn and pop material to go with...
Look forward to seeing what you come up with..

Just 3 sources I found with Google. the Ebay site has coordinating popcorn fabric and several other cat patterns. It's out there but move quickly because supplies are low!

KLO 06-05-2012 05:31 AM

Definitely cute fabric! I think I would cut long, somewhat wide strips to keep the design intact and put pieced blocks together using some of the popcorn fabric between the strips ... if you get my meaning. I don't know who thinks these designs up but they are certainly very creative.

Latrinka 06-05-2012 05:50 AM

Awe, how precious! I'd have to say the D9P or the attic windows also.

Dodee 06-05-2012 06:26 AM

scares me - actually, I think it is really cute!!!

carolynjo 06-05-2012 07:00 AM

That is precious fabric! I also like the idea of making pj's.

Jingle 06-05-2012 08:08 AM

I have a 16 year old feral cat, his name is Scaredy Cat. Because he is really a scared cat, he is use to us and everyone who comes around often or stays long enough for him to get use to them. He has a permanent deer in the headlights look. He is aware of any strange noise or any changes, small or large. He is a strickly indoor cat as well as my three other cats. I have another feral cat too.

scardy kat fabric
 
Oh I love this fabric where did you purchase it?

virtualbernie 06-05-2012 12:44 PM

Got mine from Favorite Fabrics a while ago.

Sewhappygal 06-05-2012 05:10 PM

Very cute fabric.

Spotty 06-05-2012 05:20 PM

I love the fabric. But didn't know what to do with it. I am so glad lynnie that you asked the question. I really liked Treasureirt's ideas. I knew I saw the fabric some where. Nancy's Notions has it. I call today and ordered some. It's on back order. I got several yards. I think I will use it as a panel and add some strips around the sides. She used to have some cute popcorn boxes in white fabric, but that was a year or two ago. May be I can find them some where else. Mine when made will be a throw for the T.V. room. It would make great Christmas presents to.

I like that idea! I got several yards too when Favorite Fabrics had it. Funny thing, I had it stashed away and pulled it out to take a pic of it for this post. My grandson saw it--now he wants a quilt made out of it :p
