In all that fabric that I recently got, earlier I was upstairs going through some of the boxes and came across a few things that has some yardage but not sure what I should do with it.

I have about 4 or 5 yards of this. It is not cotton or at least not like normal cotton. Its a bit heavy duty type fabric.

This is also like a heavy duty fabric. I have a couple yards of this.

There IS 10 yards of this. Ten yards!!! Its like a mauve color and its all the same throughout the 10 yards.

I have 4 yards of this all the same. Almost as if it is panels.

That fish fabric might be good for backing on a childs quilt. I live the fish fabric.The second and forth pictures could be sandwiched and quilted as is. The third one would be good for a baby quilt.

The darling little animals would be precious appliques if I knew how to do that. All of it is interesting. GL

Since the first one is heavier, I can see a great summer table cloth and napkins. If there was enough, make two sets-keep one and give one as a gift set.

The last 2 panels you posted are very interesting. I think they would be neat in a frame hanging in a kitchen. Anyway that's what I would do with them. :-)

This is what I would do.

With the last (2) panels, sew the right sides together but with the batting on one of the wrong sides. Leave an opening somewhere along the middle (not your corners) Sew & Turn it inside out like making a pillow case, and then top stitch the image(s) to emphasize the image.
Add a curtain ring or something to hang it inside your kitchen.

I like the Kid's print, it's really cute.

Thats really a cool idea. I have a wall it would fit on. Geez tomorrow is my sewing day and I have a bunch of things I am wanting to take to work on. I will have to hussle my bum tomorrow if I want to get everything done. LOL.

The heavier fabric would make good play mat quilts, just like a denim quilt - only cuter! Or just a regular quilt, but heavier. The prints are really nice. You wouldn't have to cute them up, just use as is or add borders to make it bigger. I'm not fond (myself) of the second one, but it could be used for a backing, too. Or maybe panels, too.
