Hi Ladies, We are having a bit of fun at our Guild. We were all to bring a ugly fat quarter and put it in the "bag" and then we all drew a fat quarter from the "bag" and we were to create something that represents our "Inner Self". I pulled a black and orange and green fighting dinasaurs. Now as an example one gal drew a real girly type fabric and she appliqued Lollipops with balloons and bows on her fabric. Now ladies, what can I do with these dinasaurs. "My Inner Self"??? Just a-breathing fire!!!

Applique some women riding on them and make them like "Pete's Dragon".

Youre breathing fire comment made me think of .... I am woman, hear me roar!


Though seeing your location, all I can truly think of is the link of that fabric to Drumheller!!!! :) Not that, that is your "inner self"!!!!!!!!!!! :)

are you allowed to cut it up? i'd try tiny patches so that the actual pattern of the fabric doesn't show. or, fold it in half and gather it into a flower so the pattern is not obvious...put coordinating decor in the center of the gathers. and maybe some lace on the edge?

Thank you ladies. The replies were terrific!!! I will post it when I get it done. Thank you again, I just knew you gals would come up with a great idea. Bernice,

Can you use wrong side of fabric? That would tone it down.
