    One Block wonder. I think if you do a search for it on this board, you'll get the idea of what it is like.

    Well,I think you have a lot of it.I would make a garden quilt with appliqued flowers,even if they were fused on.Then I'd use this for the sashings,and the binding.Would of course use colors to match.Maybe in solids.Lots of pastels.Now,that would be pretty.I would also add ecru lace around the edging of the border. Make it antique as I could.Also,you could make log cabins out of it,There is a lot of possibilities.It is very pretty fabric.Make a matching headband.That would make pretty head bands.Or do a string quilt.I think those roll things at quilt shops,are 2 1/2 inches.There are patterns for those I'm sure.

    Why not log cabin, find a couple of colors that match and make a log cabin. I think that would be beautiful.

    I have made rugs out of fabric on a roll like this, you may need to rip it in half.
    You could do the cording baskets also. Where you cover the cording and wind it up to be a basket.
    Have fun with it!

    WOW!!! Lots of possibilities. Quilters are very creative so I'm sure you'll have lots of ideas. I like the rail fence idea. Then if you still have some left sashing for an applique quilt, some in a crazy quilt. Have fun.

    I see ruffles!! I saw a quilt where a row of ruffles was stitched into one of the long piecing seams that ran the length of the quilt. Or you could put a ruffle on the edge. You would either have to serge one long edge or face it, maybe with a solid color picked from the floral.

    I tend to prefer log cabins that use thinner logs, so I probably won't do a log cabin out of it, but the idea of the garden quilt using appliqued flowers...now that intrigues me. I'll think about it and see how much I have lefter after I finish the rail fence. I think I'll have plenty. There is a lot here.
