    I love color, and had to buy a yard of this fabric at Hancock's, but I don't know what to do with it. I don't have small children in the family, don't have these colors in my house or on my porch, feel it's too large a print to wear. . . Could it be a table topper? 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?

    When I was at Hancock's they mentioned iron-on vinyl. Anybody used that?

    I don't have any suggestions for you but I love that fabric.

    Oh wait I have an idea! A beach blanket!

    Yes, I have used the iron on vinyl. It is easy to use. I made bibs for my grandsons. One drawback....after washing it kind of ripples but it doesn't come off which is good.

    Did the coming of Hurricane Irene influence your purchase?
