Looking for ideas for fireworks fabric...
 

I bought these two fabrics online, thinking I would put them in some Quilts of Valor that I was making. The fabrics didn't end up fitting into my final decisions, and now I am ready to make a charity quilt, maybe even using both of them in the same quilt?

The patterns are large fireworks. The reds don't even really match, but somehow I can see a kid liking a quilt with these fabrics. I can easily add more fabric. And I am just starting to try to figure out what I want to do.

However, I really don't visualize well. The design wall in my head often lets me down. I only have a yard of each of these, so I don't want to start one quilt and abandon it because I don't like how it is looking.

So....I could use some help. If you had these fabrics, what might you do with them?

Thanks for any ideas. :)

I might make a pinwheel quilt using the darker fabric with bright white fabric and the red/white fabric as the border in between, or, make pinwheels using both fabrics with white being common to both, and use a silver for border fabric.

This is very simple using two focus fabrics, but since you are doing a kid's quilt they probably wouldn't mind simple.

This is what I did with similar fabrics. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t174293.html

Thanks, ladies. I appreciate the ideas. Simple is good, and I think this one is going to be loud, no matter what I do!

They would make cute skateboards from MSQC tutorial. Here are pictures of them on google.

Really simple would be rail fence, and you could tone it down with white.

Another idea would be to make a flag with a big block of the blue firework print as the blue field, then cut alternating strips from the red, putting white between. Can you picture that? Basically a red and white jelly roll quilt with a big blue fireworks block in the upper left corner. Or, do a pinwheel using the blue fireworks with white as your "field of stars" in the corner.

You could do pinwheels with a white or black background for one side. Then use the other fabric either pieced or as one piece plus some extra fabric on the back. Almost a double sided quilt and quilt one pattern all over.

Since the colors don't really go together what about making a couple of pillowcases?

If you have a blue and white to add, why not warm wishes???
