Suggestions and ideas for this fabric
 
1 Attachment(s)
In the process of some (more) organizing, I found a box of Asian-themed fabrics I bought from Craftsy, at least 2 years ago. There are 14 different 1-yard pieces, and an additional 2-yd piece that I stuck with the rest. I know I just bought it because it was a good price and I love Asian fabrics.

Now...
What do I do with them?!?!?!?!?

Pet them? They are beautiful fabrics.

Make some Kimona themed quilts. There are lots of patterns for that kimono shape and these would be wonderful for that theme. Add a neutral that will draw them all together.

Of course large HST quilts in different patterns are nice too.

Use them for a Japanese lantern pieced pattern.

Look up the pattern "Hanging Gardens" if you are not familiar with it. I think they would be gorgeous made up that way. Maybe a consistent neutral 4-patch in the center. Please post a pic when you complete it. The fabrics are beautiful, and I'm not a real fan of orientals.

Shadow Box is great. It won't use up all of your fabric but it will showcase each one. Use the largest print for a stunning purse.

Dresden ? Sidelights?

What about the Passacaglia. Some of those fabrics would be great fussy cuts.

Charisma just posted a quilt on her blog that would be a great pattern for that fabric.

Double Slice by Jenny Doan comes to mind for these fabrics.
