Help___ideas needed
I got 2 pcs of alexander henry fab,
about 8-10 yrs old. one red, one off white background with angels on it, each angel is about 4" long. I don't want to loose the angel design. what can I do with this for Christmas and not chop it up too much. thanks sorry, no camers |
That's a challenge. Are they isolated enough to cut sq/rectangles? Maybe fussy cut and applique? If they're not isolated, maybe fussy cut with enough space to add white around them to make a square/rectangle? The angel doesn't have to be centered.
Just some brainstorming. |
That is probably what I would do - fussy cut the angels, add sashing and build a quilt around those squares or rectangles.

You could do a Diamond Patch quilt. Fussy cut the angle squares. http://www.anniescatalog.com/detail....15&cat_id=1744
This is my version of the Diamond Patch. |
Someone posted pictures of a Santa fabric fussy cut to be the center for a star table runner. It was very pretty and you could use the Angel for the fussy cut instead.
|
Cut them apart - sew the angels on to a background fabric, stuff them, and use them as ornaments.
|
If they're large enough, you could also use them for backings (with or without borders), for lap quilts or sofa throws. For the front, maybe applique a coordinating angel.
|
How about the window design with angel in some windows and a winters scene in some of the others. If you don't have a complete angel can hide it behind the window post.
|
Cut the angels into squares and make them the center of star blocks.
|
I think if you really like the fabric angel, why not make an ornament with it? There are a few ways to do that with sewing or with decoupage.
