I think I would make 4 patch posies (like one block wonders but cutting the stacks into 4) Could be very interesting.

What does the "wrong" side of it look like? Sometimes fabric that is "in your face and loud" on the right side is softer and more muted on the "wrong" side. I do that all the time......
But using in a jelly roll rug or any of the solutions offered would be a good use. |
As I recall, several years ago a couple of manufacturers had fabrics printed like that. Patterns were specially designed, with the pieces to be cut from each stripe so you would not have to buy a quarter yard or fat quarter of each print. I think Robert Kaufman had such a line.

One option would be to use it sort of like "cheater" fabric to make a rail fence quilt. I don't know how wide those stripes are, but if, as an example, they're 2", you could cut 6 1/2" blocks (sacrificing 1/4" of the adjacent blocks on either side for your seam allowance). I think I'd select a group of three and make the entire quilt from those, and it looks as if there would be at least enough stripes to make 2 little quilts. If you're not fond of it, it would still make attractive quilts to donate. Another idea would be to cut across the stripes in something like 6" lengths and join them to make a piano key border for a quilt that has similar colors. It would really streamline that project, and look great. Or combine the rail fence idea with the piano keys from the same fabric. 4 meters is a nice amount. If nothing else, it would make an attractive backing for a lap quilt.

This is the quilt your fabric suggested to me. I hope it inspires you to look at that fabric differently. You know the old saying “if your fabric is ugly, you just haven’t cut it small enough”? Lol.

Seems to me you have enough for a back! Stash bust some more and put it all together :)

Depending on how wide the stripes are, I would cut it into sets of 2 stripes, or 4... then I would go ahead and use those for cutting into triangles to make all kinds of interesting blocks. You could do the ones shown in the Jenny tutorial, or make triangle frenzy type blocks. I think the fabric is pretty, just a challenge to use creatively.

I had a good sized one given to me. I ended up using it as a backing. It looked very good on there.
|
That’s exactly what I would do.
