They're from a future group called "Vive la France" by Kaufman. The group also comes in a pink-brown-green-white colorway. At first I looked at these and said, "red, white, and blue?" and then looked up a picture of France's flag and realized that those are French colors too. Many apologies to French quilters for my ignorance!

What projects come to mind with these?

Truthfully, nothing. They don't call my name.

There is really nothing that I could think of either. Frankly, I don't really like them. as there seems to be no, at least to me, no way to blend them. Maybe if there was a larger focus fabric for the center, the first two (blue and red prints) could be used with it. Sorry.

Could you use them as backings?

The first two, maybe something for boy scouts.... I like the colors in this line, not crazy about the prints though. Although, my aunt is a French teacher, I could see making her a tote bag or something with them.

Totebags! Table runners! Placemats! Napkins! Quilts! Pajama pants! Scarf! Just so you all know.... the fleur de lis is now the official symbol of Louisiana! I'm sure this fabric would sell out down here although black and gold seems to be more popular (Go Saints!) than red, white, and blue.

I would make them in to grocery bags and give them to people who I don't like but feel I have to make them something for some strange reason lol.

Seriously. I'm not quite sure what they were thinking but I really really don't like them at all :(

Do you have to figure out something to make with them??
