need help with 5"sq.
 
I have 5"sq. of material from dance outfits that I need to make into a wall hanging. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do?

I wonder if maybe they could be a pieced border for a small picture type wall hanging. I have seen many pieced borders that are truly beautiful.

There books out there for making "nickel" quilts....5" squares are called nickels...

If they are the stretchy knit fabrics, you will need a knit needle on your sewing machine. A pattern that has cotton around the squares will help stabilize them. Take a look at the Missouri Star quilt co. Youtube video of the Falling Charms quilt top. This might work for your squares with a background cotton fabric to pull the squares together for a wallhanging.
