I love that umbrella fabric. Did you buy it on line? Do you have a link so I can find it?
|
I love your husband's idea. Look on line at free printable coloring sheets. You may find what you want. Then applique it onto the umbrella fabric.
|
I love this idea too

I've used iron on vinyl for picnic table covers and mats with great success.

Yep a tote bag :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
I think it would be cute by cutting large squares along with solids.

love that fabric
|
I think a tote bag to use on a rainy day would be great!!
|
How about a "picnic quilt". Even though it's rain and umbrellas, it's such a cheery fabric. I like the idea of a tote bag, or backpack.

Makes me think of the Morton Salt Girl...

My DH says make a picture quilt with an insert of a boy stomping in a puddle, but I don't know how to do that. Ideas?

I, too, like your hubby's idea! Great fabric!
|
would make a neat kaleidoscope block!
|
I like this idea too. Or make little umbrella tote bags.
|
a bow tuck bag
|
I have friends that have made little purses with the iron on stuff. It turned out very cute.
|
I love it!!
Hancock's you said. Where is there a Hancock's fabrics? Gotta go look it up. |

That's me with the umbrella all wadded up and backwards....
|
Tote bag, purse, I just can't cut it small table topper...
|
Adorable fabric ... can you coordinate some narrow borders and make a lap-quilt? I don't think I'd want to cut it up.
|
Adorable fabric. Wonderful bright colors. Lots of possibilities here. I'd search quilts in the gallery for ideas, then books, or on-line. I can see it as focus fabric in a snowball block with alternating nine-patches in those bright colors or...We do Ronald McDonald quilts and bright is always great for those.
|
Add four fabrics (3/4 yard each) to bring out the colors you want (I'd make one of them a black/white). Make a Take 5 quilt.
|
Okay so here goes. A flip flop applique(steam a seam is easy) quilt. A beach cabana pieced quilt. A Disappearing 9 patch. A tote bag as focus print. A small table runner use in the blocks and the outer border. Placemats. Crib size quilt with lots of brights. I could keep going! Luann in CT awaiting Irene

So many of the suggestions cut up the fabric to the point where you miss the oomph and attraction of this fabric altogether (IMHO).
Something like Atkinson Design's SLIDE SHOW pattern came to mind - ise the umbrella fabric for the large squares and all kinds of complementary fabrics for the smaller squares. Here's the pattern weblink: http://www.atkinsondesigns.com/patte...?productID=138 . |
What about making a tote bag with your husband's idea af the little boy on the front. I think that would be adoreable. I would love to have a tote like that. I would also use black polks dot fabric for the lining.

Love your fabric! I had a similar fabric & made grocery bags! Actually made 5 bags from the piece... Have fun with your fabric!

:thumbup: Cute fabric,, make a tote.. then if any left make a table runner for your picnic table.. :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
A stack and whack quilt (depending on the length of the pattern repeat).
|
Hey, great idea from your DH. Go to Clip Art and see if they have a picture of a boy.
|
It's great fabric, but I would probably make a tote bag or use it for backing on a small quilt, so I wouldn't have to cut it up.
|
I like your DH's idea. A panel of a little child surrounded by this fun fabric. I can sure see why you were drawn to it, the colors are fantastic.

I just finished a quilt made of umbrella BOM by my guild. Here are some pics. The blocks were a variety of sizes so I had to add different sized sashings and then I alternated the rows and added the gals, then to make it fit, cut some of the gals in half, then added the rain drops. Fun!
Almost done with the top [ATTACH=CONFIG]247440[/ATTACH] Finished! The quilting looks like splashes [ATTACH=CONFIG]247441[/ATTACH] During the designing [ATTACH=CONFIG]247446[/ATTACH] |
Love the fabric.
