It would make really cute tote bags.

Stack n wack would be perfect!!!!!!!!! Have you ever done one?
They are so fun and easy to do. This fabric would take on a whole new look. You need 8 repeats.

If you are into making house blocks cut out the windows, doors, hanging baskets, roofs and applique them on some of your own blocks. Lots of potential there!

Just what I was thinking to use it for........personally I kind of like it. It's different. I like different........lol

But I've reached a tote that looks like older fabric...from the 90's...

And you know that saying "if the fabric is still ugly it means you haven't cut it small enough"?

Well...I beg to differ...you couldn't possibly cut this stuff small enough...though I will try...

And not only that...there are FOUR YARDS of this ugliness!!! LOL

I've found that the most ugly fabrics turn out looking nice when used as coiled items found in the book, "It's a Wrap". Just a suggestion...

That fabric would make a great one block wonder!!!

I like it. It would be nice ina bargello or anything that would break up the pattern. The colors are pretty tho.

NOT ugly! I like it :)

I actually don't find this fabric to be ugly. Not sure what I would do with it but I have seen far uglier fabric than this one. A stack-n-whack comes to mind or some kind of fiber art wall hanging maybe........

It would be great ina water color quilt where the pieces are cut at 2in.
