My dilemma
1 Attachment(s)
I somehow acquired this fabric and have absolutely no idea what to do with it! Any suggestions? (PS: the magazine is for a visual and the Helper is because she's nosy!!)

Without knowing how much fabric you have, it's hard to know if my suggestions may be do-able.
My first thought was that with such a large floral design, it would work well in a 4PP, OBW or SAW. Others ... * backing of a quilt * FC some of the florals, and border them up in some way ... strips, stars, etc. |
I think your pooch is trying to help you decide :D
Really pretty fabric but no ideas. I'm brain dead these days! Edit- just realized it looks Hawaiian- maybe search for Hawaiian quilts? I have fabric from our trip to Hawaii and haven't used it yet. |
I like big bold patterns for quilt backing. I always get a AHHHH at show and tell when I turn over my quilt.
|
I’ve not made one, but a block on my bucket list is a one block wonder. If you google it, lots of tutorials come up. It’s one that seems to lend itself to large prints with bold colors, but seems maybe wasteful of fabric. But maybe not if you plan it carefully.

I think it would look good in a BQ2 quilt (or most of the BQ patterns)

Your little Mini poodle is the twin of my late little sweetie! Precious little one!!
The fabric is nice also. I was given a couple of yards of it also... a few years ago. Since I am making only baby quilts now-a-days, I am struggling with it too. Well, not really 'struggling," because it is buried in one of the bins, boxes, piles, shelves, of my out of control stash. Someone said that if you cut fabric in small enough pieces, you can do anything with it. When you come up with a solution, please let me know!! :) |
There isn’t enough pattern for a OBW for a good variety of blocks, in my opinion. I think I would either use it for a back or fussy cut the big florals for Warm Wishes or another large block quilt top.

Definitely something with huge blocks, or leave it whole. That print is too big to cut up. I have a friend in Hawaii who makes beautiful Quillows with Hawaiian large prints like this. Or you could use it as a quilt back.
It would also make a great muu muu! :p |
You need more movement in the background for a OBW. With this fabric you would wind up with a lot of blocks that were almost all solid red. I would use it as a pretty quilt back.
