I just went shop hopping and found this awesome beer fabric. Hubby brews his own so it's perfect for him. I bought 2 fat quarters of it (all they had left). Now I'm not sure what to do with it! He already has a quilt, and I'm making matching pillow cases for Xmas (and I'd rather not have beer fabric in the bedroom). He wouldn't wear an apron. I'm forbidden from acquiring any more pillows (I don't know if making counts, but I'd rather not find out). So any ideas of what I could do?? I'd rather have it be useful than just something ornamental...

He owes me oven mitts from burning my 2 right after we moved in together!

A remote organizer for the arm of his tv chair.

This should probably be an exception to the no more pillows rule! You could do a D9P with the beer fabric in the corners, do a quick border and back and you're done!

You could always make a cover for the pillows you have already made. Then, there aren't any new pillows, just a different look. :)

No man cave... we share an office and my fabric lives everywhere else.
