Michael Miller has a new collection out called "Countryville". While I can easily imagine kitchen decor with the first picture, the second has me stumped.

What do you do with a weathervane fabric?

old farms and barns seens 8-)

This type of fabric was popular in the 60's but you saw it in greens and golds. It was used in kitchens as curtains.

I'd like it, I have a weathervane that was designed especially for me, so it's unique. I'm sure I could use it (the fabric) somewhere.

since the potholder swap is going on, that would be a good idea

I can see the bottom fabric as curtains and the top as a valence.

Also, bottom fabric could be the "neutral". But, surely, there's more than two fabrics in the line. Don't they have some pretty reds and greens to go with it?

Ok, here's a link to the whole group on Michael Miller's site:

I don't think they have the two Krystal coordinates named correctly though. They can't both be called Krystal, with two different pattern numbers. Don't know what's up with that!

I would use both in a barnyard quilt/ child's quilt.

The first would be backing, the second would be one of the light fabrics.

Children, especially infants, really go for the strong contrasting prints. I used something similar in a baby quilt for my boss when she had her first child. She said the baby REALLY loved the contrasting colors and brights.

Good luck!

A big Mariner's compass with weathervane borders, or as a 4 elements quilt = Air, and find some water, earth, and fire to go with it. Also, depending on the scale, you can fussycut them as star centers

I would fussy - cut the individual images and have them as focal points of interest in each block that I design around them. I personally would use black and white solids and prints, plus a touch of yellow in each block.
