Can you use a wack and stack wih small enough pieces so that it comes out as a mixed fabric instead of Easter?

Auntie V 05-30-2014 09:48 AM

My answer is to make kitchen items with lots of other matching colors and a little of the Easter fabric. (Eggs/Kitchen) or Mug Mats or Potholders for co worker could work too. Get a early start on next year or put away till next year.

Have you tried selling them on this board or on eBay or etsy? Or try to trade them with another quilter. If you cut them small enough for scrappy quilts (1 1/2-2" strips or squares the pattern won't show much at all--and the pastel colors will just blend in.

Connect with your local Project Linus chapter or other charity quilt group and either donate the fabric, make tops, or make quilts. Some groups don't particularly want seasonal quilts, but many do. Our Linus chapter does a special set of Halloween and autumn quilts for the pediatric floor of the hospital for their Halloween party. Unless the group has storage capability, they won't want completed seasonal quilts a month after that holiday. Kids enjoy the holidays.

You can even make year round calendar/seasonal quilts for kids with fabrics from many of the seasons all together.

I think I would start a yoyo project with them.

Wow, I knew you all would have some great suggestions. I especially like trying stack and whack and 4PPs with them. Don't know why I didn't think of that myself as those are 2 of my favorite fun blocks to make.
I also really like the idea of making some mixed holiday quilts; I can have blocks of all kinds of holidays in one quilt so it would be appropriate pretty much year round. I'm thinking D9P with the holiday fabrics for the corner squares and smaller holiday prints for the others, and perhaps tone on tone or solids for the center squares..
SMILES........ Y'all have got my wheels turning now!!!

Could they work for a baby quilt? S&W are my favs so that would be my first choice.

One Great thing to do with fabrics you don't like, which is what I do, is to make pet quilts either for your own pet or donate them to a shelter. It is a fun way to make quilts in any style you want. The cats and dogs don't seem to care what kind of print you use.

Do you make the sausage roll pillowcase? You could use up a bunch of yardage by making those and either selling them or donating them.

Cut into 2 1/2"strips and make a jelly roll quilt......
