I have a piece of yardage that was "gifted" to me (read neighbor was cleaning out her crafting area and decided to give me all the scraps she knew she'd never use). I truly wish I could post a pic, but I can't. Anyway, it's something called "Sassy Princess", a directional stripe, in BRIGHT orange, yellow, a bit of lime green in the yellow, and has little girls and green butterflies in it. The stripes are roughly 1&1/4 inches wide. I have about four yards of this garishly cute stuff.

What would you do with it? I appreciate all suggestions and ideas very much!

Use it for backing.

Shunem 03-12-2011 10:09 AM
LOL!! I was wondering if that was all it was good for!?

do you have/know any little girls that need tote bags? that would use it up fast and be useful for someone, too.

I do not know but the fabric sounds adorable..Maybe a pinwheel type of quilt?

Shunem 03-12-2011 11:49 AM
Yep---that's the one!

Yep---that's the one!

Edit---sorry I hit the button twice.

That fabric is so cute...
how about cutting 5'' squares then alternating with solid squares of the colors that are in the fabric. Would make a nice rainbow look. That would still leave plenty for the back and maybe a matching pillowcase.

tube quilt comes to my mind. Anything with strips looks good.

Sounds great for a kids quilt border also.

Pillow cases? Pajama pants? It's adorable fabric!

Seriously, thanks for all the suggestions. I had seven yards, then made DD a nightgown, now have four left. It is cute---just sooo bright.

How about a market bag for the grocery store? You could make a set of 4 and gift them to your neighbor?

I agree with Dreamer....or use it for backing...it really is a cute bright fabric for a little girl.

D9P? using other colors to tone it down?

KarenR 03-13-2011 05:15 AM
How about a D9P use it for the corner blocks and rotate the ones that would be upside down when turned so everything is going the right direction (hint from the board). Then use some variagated or moted colors for the other squares, and finish it off with a boarder in that fabric.

Could be very cute!
