    I bought several vest panels back in the day when they were popular. Does anyone have any ideas or have you seen any patterns on what I could do with them (other than make vests LOL)
    I think I saw a quilt at one time made from them. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't remember what these look like. Could you please post a photo?

    Thanks!

    I had one that I wore out, a long time ago. Thinking of making another one now. It had a fancy front and satin/polyester back, like some of the mens' fancy ones.
    If I remember correctly, it had a lot of embroidered Indian markings on it, and some thickly embroidered turquoise jewelry.

    Depending on what is on them, maybe you could use them for applique. Or cut them into blocks.

    I'd say that you could probably at least cut some images off of them (depending on the images) and use them for blocks/or bricks (rectangles) and cut the remaining parts up for blocks..

    To post a picture, just post, and after it shows up, you'll see blue boxes under your post, Reply, Quote Reply, Edit, Add Attachment.

    Click on Add Attachment and then browse to find where the picture is on your computer, then submit.

    You could cut them apart and use sections of them as focus squares/blocks.
