I love the "hideous" fabric..........you can send it my way if you really don't like it!!

Bueniebabe 10-30-2011 03:32 PM

I love all of them

Painiacs 10-30-2011 04:19 PM

I like the hideous pieces! Wish someone would FTP stuff on my door step like that'. I was afraid to look at first!!

Jingle 10-30-2011 04:31 PM

Good for you, I'm sure they will look good as quilts.

TrenbeathRanch 10-30-2011 04:35 PM

LOL...hot spit? That cracked me up!

TacoMama 10-30-2011 04:36 PM

Nice surprise!!!!!!!!

The 8 and 9 inch squares could be used in any pattern calling for layer cake pieces. That collection I like. What to do with the painted fabric I don't know. Don't care of any of that myself.

her shop was originally here in Key West. I saw the workers "paint" the material. It sold for a huge amount per yard as it was all done by hand.

If you just cannot stand that hideous fabric you can just send it my way/

Quilter2B 10-31-2011 04:58 AM

I see lots of scrappies and maybe a handbag or two. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Pieces2 10-31-2011 05:05 AM

Looks like your ready to make some quilts. :thumbup:

brushandthimble 10-31-2011 05:06 AM

the set of fabrics in the second picture would make up a fun OBW

Annaquilts 10-31-2011 05:07 AM

Wow! I love it. A new challenge. What to make with all these bright happy fabrics. Have fun.

I agree

Greenheron 10-31-2011 05:09 AM

Thank goodness, I was picturing a discarded kitten or puppy. :oops:

mimom 10-31-2011 05:10 AM

wow

sblancarte 10-31-2011 05:13 AM

I'll take the ones that you think are hideous-I love them! I'll pay the postage too!

gypsylady5 10-31-2011 05:13 AM

That is a fabulous find! Great going.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I see some scrappy sweatshirt jackets. It would be fun.

catladyquilts 10-31-2011 05:29 AM

the "hideous" fabric would make a good 4 patch posie
great haul

Para722 10-31-2011 06:13 AM

What a faboulous surprise. I see so many quilts in your future. There are a great many designs out there for large print fabric. Enjoy

Glenis Burrows 10-31-2011 06:15 AM

Sorry, you are both wrong. They were meant to be coming to my place. I am so disappointed.
I am in Australia.
What was that you said?
Yeah! Fat chance.
That is not very friendly.
Enjoy them, they are lovely.
lol gleniveve

cheaha39 10-31-2011 06:17 AM

Wonderful find, I love the bright colors.

cuppi duke 10-31-2011 06:19 AM

I can see one block wonders in the one you called hideous. I love them myself. If you decide to sell them, let me know.

blondeslave 10-31-2011 06:27 AM

I love your "hideous" fabric and the Lily Pulitzer fabrics.

mucky 10-31-2011 06:29 AM

Cut into blocks it will be absolutely beautiful.

Homespun 10-31-2011 06:38 AM

Fantastic--wish it had been left on my doorstep!

patdesign 10-31-2011 06:49 AM

Purses, and tote bags, and place mats. I use discarded fabric memos which are often sunbrella or heavier fabrics and find those items make good use of them.

Lucky girl.

kyquilt 10-31-2011 07:20 AM

Have you ever thought about doing a bargello quilt using the fabric? I think it would be beautiful! You could stagger the strips, using light, dark , light, dark,or something like that.:)

clawson556 10-31-2011 07:30 AM

Me too!

happymrs 10-31-2011 07:32 AM

Those are all nice actually! Even the big pieces could be cut into squares, then added to scrap quilts. Or add co-ordinating color blocks to them & you might actually like them in something. I like that saying, there is no ugly fabric, it just hasn't been cut into a small enough square! LOL! Works for me, nice haul, lucky you!...

Tartan 10-31-2011 07:38 AM

SWEEEET! The ones you called "ugly" would make a great OBW or clothesline fabric backets. I agree with Bonnie Hunter on the uglies, "there are no ugly fabrics, you just haven't cut them small enough!" Get busy!

Quiltmaniac2010 10-31-2011 07:54 AM

Score!!! The "hideous" fabric (which I don't think is hideous at all) would make lovely kaleidoscope blocks!
