G i joe for a grown man
 
My son loved GI Joe as a boy so I couldn't resist buying some GI Joe fabric. It's not enough for a quilt so what else could I make a grown man with this fabric?

Put some camo fabric with it and make a lap quilt.

camo quilt and G. I. Joe pillowcases?

You could always make pieced ( or appliqued) blocks with solid fabrics which are the same colors found in the GI Joe fabric, and use the GI Joe fabric for sashing or borders. That way you could probably make a quilt as large as you'd like.

I say add other fabric and go for a quilt...that's what I've been doing for my cousins. I find a focus fabric that is something individualized then add other matching fabric and make a quilt...so far, so good, no one has wanted to give one back and the ones that don't have one yet are waiting patiently...well, pretty patiently.....

I would add other fabrics and make a sofa throw (big enough for a sofa snooze).

Maybe pajama pants?

Thank you all for your ideas!

Which fabric did you buy and how much yardage did you get?

Wondering if the fabric is suitable for fussy cuts and maybe doing a Shadow Quilt. You know the one where you cut the fabric into squares or rectangles, the a strip of dark fabric on the right side and across the bottom.

Look at these quilts for ideas: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...=isch&imgdii=_
