I would know what to do with it, not use it. LOL It looks strange and i love food fabrics.

Yes, that is my first thought but then I got a BS.

The first thing I saw was a pile of larvae. Not sure I'd want to stick around for whatever might hatch out.

That is hilarious! I have a lot of food fabric and I will copy this idea.

I think it's a laugh how we have seen so many different things, when looking at this fabric!

Personally, I saw leaves... mostly because of the color.

By the way... can anybody tell me what is the difference between a yam and a sweet potato? Maybe my problem is that in our stores, the produce section carries yams and not sweet potatoes. Though, in my mind, the two are synonymous and... you can probably tell that I've been a northerner all my life...

It looked like leaves to me also. Very pretty colors! Would make lovely fall placemats and table runner.

I would have known.

I have never met a sweet potato that I did not like.

wish I would have known about 2 months ago - I will be posting a sodoko puzzle wall hanging (as soon as I bind it) made of fruits and vegetables from the Farmer John line!
