Do you have some "What was I thinking?" fabric?
I was looking in my stash for a piece of backing, and discovered this. Price tag still on it, on sale for a dollar a yard. 11 yards! Lol!!

Prism99 10-10-2011 09:41 AM

Wow!!! Must have been thinking about backing fabric for a large quilt.......

PaperPrincess 10-10-2011 09:42 AM

Looks like great backing especially for a kid's nighty night quilt

Zhillslady 10-10-2011 09:42 AM

LOL I love it. Let me know if you decide to sell it. I know the perfect person for it.

wraez 10-10-2011 09:43 AM

Oh that is great fabric! I'm putting together Halloween blocks for 5 of my grands and that is the perfect backing fabric!

You got a great price.

I'd be happy to buy it from you!

A wizard's cape!

BETTY62 10-10-2011 10:10 AM

Well,I like it.

RenaB 10-10-2011 10:18 AM

Lol, I do that sometimes too but yes, I know the perfect project for it so if you decide to sell let me know because I would take about 4 yds of it.

jean1941 10-10-2011 10:19 AM

Looks like you found a buyer

sewingsuz 10-10-2011 10:23 AM

This is great fabric. What a buy!!

BarbM32 10-10-2011 10:25 AM

Is the background navy or black. I love the fabric and would like to buy all of it depending on price and shipping.

PurplePassion 10-10-2011 10:36 AM

Well with all these positive responses --I bet you wish you would have bought more of it.

raedar63 10-10-2011 10:42 AM

I love it, I am making a halloween quilt that would be perfect for! I will buy it in a second.

Or several, but how could you beat that price?

she would have to meet the requirements for selling here first!

but that is really cool fabric

ManiacQuilter2 10-10-2011 11:06 AM

SELL IT if you can't use it. You could possible double your money and sell it for $2 a yard !!! I really LIKE your disappearing 9 patch design. Quite Stunning.

franie 10-10-2011 11:07 AM

Backing! Ya one of those "what.....?"

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 10-10-2011 11:20 AM

I think it would make a fun backing for a halloween quilt or wall hanging......or some fun pillow cases.

leiladylei54 10-10-2011 11:24 AM

What a great fabric for Halloween!!!

This is exactly what I was thinking. Perfect for Halloween Quilts :D

QuiltnNan 10-10-2011 11:43 AM

well, it sure will be enough backing for several charity quilts!

I would be thrilled to have that fabric! It is awesome for Halloween hangings and runners, for backing and borders or bindings, what a find.

willis.debra 10-10-2011 12:07 PM

Wow Halloween!

Shelby 10-10-2011 01:10 PM

I just looked at the receipt, I got this in 2006! I guess that shows how deep my stash is.

ManiacQuilter2, thank you! That was the absolute bleedingest (is that a word?) batik that I EVER used!

emerald46 10-10-2011 01:23 PM

Could be cute pj's!

MadQuilter 10-10-2011 01:29 PM

What great fabric for Halloween.

BarbM32 10-10-2011 02:02 PM

Well Shelby, I do not think it is fair to you for everyone to expect to buy this piece of fabric for the $1 yd you paid for it and no telling when you bought it when all this fabric being offered on Quilt Board is soooo much more expensive and probably been in the stash pile just as long. Think about what you want to do and how much you will sell it for and then tell everyone. In the meantime I am still interested in the whole 11 yards and still would like to know if background is black or navy. I really do not care I just would like to know.

Rhaorth 10-10-2011 02:07 PM

As for selling it, as mentioned by someone else, she doesn't mean the requirements to list it for sale... (that however doesn't stop her from doing a private sale via pm or email)

As for the fabric, I think it is cool

I think many, I for one would pay much more than what she paid. I don't think anyone means any harm, just friendly banter....

I'm sorry, I just thought it would be a fun thread, maybe seeing someone else's "what was I thinking" stuff.
The background is black.

emmah 10-10-2011 03:05 PM

Make everyone in the family matching pj bottoms!

Highmtn 10-10-2011 03:07 PM

LOL..

Shelby..
NO NEED to apologize for your original post....I thought your post was FUNNY AS HECK! Bet we all have a few hunks of fabric like that stuffed in our stash.

Maybe if we ALL post photos of our "WHAT Was I Thinking???" fabrics we can end up doing a massive swap...LOL My local quilting partner in crime used to buy BOLTS of fabrics...and now she has a bunch of bolts of little tiny country prints that she's grown out of etc... There is POTENTIAL HERE TO BE SOME SERIOUS FUN....LOL

frog54 10-10-2011 05:32 PM

You'll find a use Besides it was on sale. lol :mrgreen:

ging10ging 10-10-2011 05:44 PM

Can't beat the price was what you was probably thinking. cute fabric. Sue

Bliss 10-11-2011 03:15 AM

See
No fabric goes unloved

SueDor 10-11-2011 03:23 AM

Use it as a backing, or sell it here where there are takers already.

Happy Tails 10-11-2011 03:23 AM

That's my daughter's favorite thing - moon and stars, so I completely understand you buying that much - I love it :)
Would make a beautiful backing and other things
Wendy

Sunnye 10-11-2011 03:24 AM

I love it! You have enough to have pieces on the front and then use it for the backing.
Perhaps you could find a cute "sunny" material for the front?
