Which do you like better?

And how would you use them?

I like the black swans better but that said ... I wouldn't have a use for either of them.

I like them both. I would use them as a large border. I think their awesome.

I like the black swans on white. I would make a tote bag and put a thin band of red and then a thicker band of sold black on the top of the bag. I would probably use black handles and line the bag in red.

I like them both! Would they work on a 3-d quilt?

Prefer the black. Would I use them - at some point but would probably buy the fabric to add to stash.

Sadiemae 05-14-2011 10:28 AM

I like them, but I doubt I would use them because I would not want to cut them.

I like them both, though like PPs, I probably would not have a use for them for myself.

My first reaction was ... a shower curtain!
(sorry)

However, I can really see both would make nice backings for a quilt. Fun linings or outsides for purses or for larger bags/totes. Placemats.

I would use either for backing. If they are large enough, sewing around their outlines, you would have an all over, awesome quilting design on the front of the quilt. :D:D:D

I think the white on black are cute but I am not into black and white quilts so I would pass.

I like the white swans on the black background better.

But would probably buy neither - even though I am collecting black and white fabrics.

Now - if that was a cat fabric - - -

I like the black on the white, but I'd have no real use for either.

The black ones, and I like the ideas that suebee and Arizona Quilts1 have regarding how they would use them. I immediately thought, "border" but the tote bag idea is great, too!! ;-)

I like the white background & would use this in a border or floating blocks/spacers; the shower curtain idea sounds ideal or make bathroom curtains to match shower curtain.

Backing idea sounds good too.

Niether one speaks to me as irresistable. They seem to lack any depth and seem a bit flat.

NCquilter 05-14-2011 12:43 PM

Love both of them

GreatStarter 05-14-2011 04:29 PM

I like them both. I think I would do like a stack n' wack. Have fun whatever you do.

Hard to choose.

Carron 05-14-2011 07:08 PM

I like them both and with a little thought could probably come up with a clever way to use them...but, not this minute, it is too late in the day. LOL

I would make a B&W quilt and use this charming material for both a border (black background) and backing (lightbackground). Love it!

lallyann 05-18-2011 06:29 PM

that would be cute for a wedding quilt of some kind. Also a really cool addition to a black and white quilt!
