the African print would make a beauty of a quilt for fall. I love that one.

The first one, being a really interesting African print, first I would slice each of the qtr circle parts into 3 wedges, that would give me 6. Then, out of the remaining brown, and maybe with some additional browns, blacks, and maybe using a french braid type pattern on them I'd cut enough wedges to make a circle. That would be the center of my quilt. I would add maybe some log cabin blocks at the corners and make a rectangle/square, and border it with animal prints fabrics, maybe in some type of zig zag pattern. Then I'd FMQ basenjis all over it! I would use some copper metallic thread for some of it I'd make it really busy, as that's how basenjis are Now, what do I suggest you do? Let your imagination go, and let your creative side have fun! The second one? My brain's too tired after all that creative thinking - I have nothing The second piece would be a second quilt - table topper - wall hanging - ???. They will be lovely however you use them. Can't wait to see a picture of the finished product - products. |
Wow, wish I could find bits of fabric like that. I wouldn't want to cut the up either!

I love the first fabric. I would not cut it. I would make a wall hanging or a whole cloth quilt.

The first thing I thought of was a skirt. I sewed a bunch of border skirts in the early 80's. It drew the eye to the pattern :) and I was able to have quite a few, because I made them. Thanks to Mrs Patton for teaching me how to sew.
