If I hadn't just told you what it was... would you have known?

And now that you know... what could you do with this fabric?

Sadiemae 09-13-2011 06:21 PM

I am not sure I would have known those are sweet potatoes.

scraphq 09-13-2011 06:24 PM

would be great in one of the wonderful garden produce quilts that have been shown by board members.

BETTY62 09-13-2011 06:30 PM

I would never have guessed those were sweet potatoes. Maybe you could make a pot holder with the fabric.

bluteddi 09-13-2011 06:32 PM

maybe my puter is showing it off color????

deenatoo 09-13-2011 06:32 PM

I am not sure I would have guessed, but after knowing...I can see the pattern of them.

quiltjoey 09-13-2011 06:42 PM

You could make a "potato" cooker to be use in the microwave...

wartime jane 09-13-2011 06:44 PM

Yes but then I adore sweet potato pie.

trisha 09-13-2011 06:45 PM

cook em and eat em?

playswithcolor 09-13-2011 06:45 PM

There was a great quilt at the Sisters, Oregon show. Front side had fruit and veggie fabrics, back was all junk food fabrics.

ladypetite 09-13-2011 06:46 PM

Nope....I would not have guessed. Looks like it would go great in any Fall or Harvest project.

blueangel 09-13-2011 07:02 PM

Nopt sure

valsma 09-13-2011 07:03 PM

Not from this picture, but up close and looking at the fabric I think so.

Husband loves baked sweet potatoes.

LLWinston44 09-13-2011 07:32 PM

Nope, never. Would have thought it was leaves. Lol

CloverPatch 09-13-2011 07:33 PM

Nope, would have guessed flower pettals

bkb 09-13-2011 07:37 PM

how about a jar quilt!

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 09-13-2011 07:41 PM

hahahahaha sorry, but it looks like a pile of slugs!!! don't think I would do anything with this fabric. :D

immemother 09-13-2011 07:43 PM

What about a casserole dish holder?

Omg lolol. I had to go back and look, and I can definitely see the slugs. Lol

Shelbie 09-13-2011 07:49 PM

I'd probably make an apron. Mary Mulari's site has great patterns and it is easy to follow her directions.

Julie in WA 09-13-2011 08:57 PM

Looks sort of like icky germies invading the bloodstream.

Diane on Summit 09-13-2011 09:10 PM

How large is the pattern? It might make a cute stack n whack!

Jammin' Jane 09-13-2011 09:11 PM

Yup! I saw they were sweet potatoes...which I love to eat!

Dolphyngyrl 09-14-2011 03:56 AM

potholders would be my choice or those microwave fabric bowls for hot stuff

I don't know how big these are. I just found the picture on one of the fabric distributors' websites and... well, wondered what the folks here would think of it.

When I look at the sweet potatoes in our local grocery stores, they really aren't this color. More of a light orange, less red.

AUQuilter 09-14-2011 04:21 AM

I see a casserole cover or hot mats for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! As a GRITS, Girl Raised In The South, it would be a shame if I didn't recognize them. They have become the preferred potato in our house- not a yam but the sweet potato.

east side quilter 09-14-2011 04:45 AM

pot holder, micro bowl.

Wanabee Quiltin 09-14-2011 05:00 AM

Kinda looks like falling leaves to me. Hmmmm

saw a junk food one where the quilting was apples

Becka 09-14-2011 05:58 AM

I wouldn't have guessed sweet potatoes, but I'd love a FQ of that for our fruit/veggie jar quilt WIP. Off to look for it...

Margie 09-14-2011 06:04 AM

what would I do with it????....leave it on the shelf and buy something else lol :)

Sandra-P 09-14-2011 06:19 AM

Absolutely

No need to look just yet... it was in the "future" category, so you won't find it anywhere for probably a few months.

mimee4 09-14-2011 07:50 AM

Didn't recognize sweet potatoes. At first I thought school of fish.

sarahrachel 09-14-2011 07:51 AM

a food jar quilt! someone added crates in theirs and those would look wonderful in the crates!

Vivian Ketron 09-14-2011 07:57 AM

Bake them.lol

Jingle 09-14-2011 07:59 AM

Don't look like sweet potatoes to me. It is something I would not buy. Sorry.

paulswalia 09-14-2011 08:14 AM

Maybe the Sweet Potato Queens could provide inspiration:

beaniekins 09-14-2011 08:15 AM

It looks like leaves to me.

Jere 09-14-2011 08:23 AM

Where can I get some? I am doing a quilt called "Market Fresh" and I need orange fabrics to go with the rest of my fruits and vegetables.
