What to do with these fabrics?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]577709[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]577711[/ATTACH]
I bought 2 yards of each of these fabrics many years ago and I don't quite know why. They're both Robert Kaufman screen prints. I'm not sure if they're really beautiful or gaudy! Anyway I have no idea what to do with them. Couldn't bear to cut them up for a quilt. Perhaps tote bag or table cloth.? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Jinny Beyer uses a lot of border print fabrics in her designs. Here's a link to some block ideas from her website. Cutting into the fabric isn't to hard ....... lol just take a deep breath and go for it.
Opps forgot to add her website ...... jinnybeyer.com

I had purchased a small amount of the stripe about 10 years ago. I loved it then and I still do. I used it in a mitered block design. I probably wouldn't cut up the other one and use it as a large tote bag or table topper.

The top one would look good as 4 patch posey. The bottom could be border

I agree with looking at a Jinny Beyer pattern. Some of them are free. That fabric is amazing! I would have bought it also!!
