Thinking outside the box...
2 Attachment(s)
I am always looking for ways to think outside the box when it comes to quilting fabrics. Yesterday I found a fabric sample book at the antique store. It was $6.00. As you can see by the photo that I was able to get the silks out of the book and cut them into 9 1/2 inch sqs. It will be a wall hanging.
What do you think? |
This is going to be beautiful. What a great idea. I think outside the box also and sometimes people think I am nuts before they see the finished product.
|
gorgeous fabrics. They look so pretty on your floor.
|
I think you are going to be very pleased with your wall hanging it is nice
|
Looks great!
|
What a wonderful way to re-purpose fabric! I love your layout and think it will make a beautiful wall hanging. Please remember to show us your finished project. Thanks for sharing.

I, too am always one for re-purposing. This is a cool idea. Be sure and show us the finished project. What a fun find!
|
Gorgeous fabric! Great! What a bargain too!
|
It will be much more beautiful hanging on a wall than sitting in an old book out of sight. Maybe some featherstitching at the seams would be appropriate. The fabrics remind me of old-timey crazy quilts.
I rescued a much more recent fabric sample book a few years ago, and would love to play with the fabrics, but found that they are attached to paper on the back using some kind of thick glue, and I haven't found any way to get that off. |
beautiful girl!! one reason some simple quilts done with squares and such look so good. We just love fabrics!!
|
