OBW sounds great, and the family will never really know that it was this creepy fabric. LOL

I love the idea of a canvas bag!! You could make a few take a tote and cover one or both sides the embellish it. Or make it out of jean material. What is the name of the fabric I really like it. Take care!!

Agree. A nice A-line skirt perhaps?

I'd make a bag...a big one, like an overnight bag or oversized tote. Its definitely not my style, but I see a bag.

I still think I like it, but I am at a loss as to what I can do with it.

Any suggestions? Do you like it? What would you do with it? (And no Halloween suggestions, please:-) - thanks.)
Patch a color fabrics, bright ones over making this as a base or pattern for new colored picture.Different eyes, skin colors, hair
The rest, make it as backing for other quilts .

I was thinking the same thing...it would make a really neat tote bag.

I think it's kind of funky and a bit eerie at the same time. I like to make tote and grocery bags. I'd use it for a tote bag or two.. having said that I didn't read how much you had of it. If you have several yards I'm not sure how many tote bags you'd want lol

I have no clue what you could do with it. It is not what I would buy.

I think I also would have bought some of it - just because it is so different. Have no idea what I would have done with it, though.
