I was given a couple of boxes of "scrap" and I found these two great pieces. Any suggestions on how I should put them together into a quilt? I know it's not your traditional cotton for quilting but I've never done anything by the book anyhows ;)

The fabric measures 44x64 inches and the owl 15x16.5 inches.

According to my screen the 2nd looks like it has the same color as the owl backing. Why not border the owls with the 2nd one.

I say go for it. That how new designs are created by thinking out of the box. :thumbup:

Yes, the colours are similar. I'm stuck on what I should do for the surrounding blocks...a simple nine patch? or something else....

You could do a wide border in the leaf print, and then appliqué some mice (or other little critters) onto it with a similar colour as the owl.

Cool idea!! Even where the owls are it would be cute appliqued on. As far as blocks go I'm not sure. Friendship star is a cute one or little pinwheels. I can even see a thin scrappy border of say 1 1/2" squares to frame it out in those colors.

My screen shows the fabric behind the owls to be a pink- peach I would use the similar color as the owls instead so to bring them out more. Maybe not the same but some thing along that color scheme.

There is a cushion pattern in a magazine I have which might work. PM me if you are interested.

I have no suggestions but just wanted to say that second fabric is awesome. I love it. I like the owls too. I can't wait to see what you create.
