what can I make with all this upolstery fabric??
 

each piece is 13 1/2" x 8 1/2". very pretty prints. I don't know what to make with them. Some nice lady at a yard sale gave them to me.

Wow. I would love to have those. I'd make bags!

Tote bags and purses.

tote bags, purses and pillows?

i got a lot of those samples from a friend and just pieced them together. they made up into great bags. i think they would also work for place mats or table runners.

bags would be my choice

yep tote bags

Bags sound great. You could sew them together and make a jacket (it would be bright but also would be good and warm)

I have about 20 of those and I use them in my crazy quilting. They are so beautiful.

I think I would make bags.

I'd think they would be a perfect size for making some needle carry cases.They sure are pretty.

I vote for tote bags

If they are cotton make potholders , or at least the backs of potholders.

I think the bags win this round.

mug rugs, tote bags,

I am making a 2 throws for winter. If it is cotton it will wash well. I usually air dry so it does not shrink or loose its sheen. It is easy to sew on also. Totes, Purses, etc. I have also made from these samples. You can applique some also. The flowers that you use for applique are larger than regular quilters cotton but they are bright and beautiful. Enjoy your new fabric remnants.

Wallets too

You can also make a quilt for you couch, I made one several years ago and turned out awesome. They work up fast and very warm as well.

I had some upholstery fabric and I made the suggested tote bags, place mats, etc. But in doing this, I first used it to try out new block patterns and techniques. The result of those trials eventually became the bags and mats.

Just wonderful, I would make purses and thank you for sharing

We put some together and made lap robes for nursing homes.

My sister and I made a beautiful king size bedspread with samples like these. We just did a patchwork and it turned out very pretty.

If I can manage pictures, here are some bags I have made with upholstery samples. I have also used them to make lap robes for nursing home patients.

Those are so fun to get when people toss samples, piece them together into nice rectangles, put a backing and tie them, with or without batting, and make yourself a cute throw rug ! And I love the above ideas of making bags too, and these would make good strong dog beds/cat rugs too!

You could also sew squares together for a quilt. Since they are heavier than the cotton we use it wouldn't need any batting, just backing.

You could also make so,e neat rug mugs or place mats or make sets.

My friend and I received some of these samples and made a bed caddy to keep your tv. remote, glasses, medicines etc.
We donated them to our church picnic and they sold them for money to run our school system. A flap is made to fit between the box spring and mattress. This anchors it. The pockets hang free.

I put blocks like that into a demin rag quilt. Loved the look. I squared up the block to the narrowest width.

oh i'd make a large quilt showing off those. just cut all the same size and sew. I made pieced blks out of decorator fabrics. I would have preferred some like yours.

You could use it for throw pillows on your sofa, or big floor pillows for the kids when watching TV.

They are 76% cotton, 24% poly. Thank you all for your tips. I just can't let them sit there, they are sooo pretty. Gotta make something with them.

They look great. You can also use them for charity quilts.

Wow!! you all are sewww talented. Thanks a million for all your suggestions. I'm going to get started on some pillows, and go from there

Wow what a nice lady. I guess I'd have to go along with everyone else and say bags.

they make great bags!!!

Jackets, place mats, table runners, totes, and on and on and on!! Lucky you. Thanks for sharing.

How about quilted wall hangings?

definitely bags-google upholstery remnant projects and see what happens. There is a lady here in Pittsburgh that sells that by the bag along with her other items. The only negative is if there is a manufacturers label glued to it, it is very difficult to remove

There is a glued label on each one, i tried taking one off and it removed very easily, but I do know what you mean, I have had some before that were diffucult to remove.
