    Since you consider this a "practice piece" how about binding it & hanging it on your wall & then look at it about 6 months later & see just how far you've come. In my opinion, it's not *practice* at all....it's perfection! I love how you've tucked in the Fruit of the Spirit within the work.

    I think all the different colored threads make it very pretty. Very good stitches.

    I agree that a wall hanging would be a great use of this piece. The purse/tote idea is also good. Definitely don’t discard it.

    It’s a beautiful art piece! Bind it and hang it in your quilting room.

    Can you frame it for wall art? I wasn't sure of the size. I like the words you quilted within the designs.

    Like others suggested, it would make a lovely tote bag. If you are willing to cut it up smaller, mug rugs would be fun!
    Let us know what you decide. You do lovely work!

    A zippered pouch? The front panel of a tote bag? Wall art? Tortilla warmer?(I just made one from quilted square)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RSO...SRxSLw&index=7

    greaterexp...THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!! Even though some of the thread isn't showing up, you can still see all of the designs in your picture. I think you should finish this and use it...NOT for an oil rag or any such thing, but for a couch throw or something. That is some beautiful stitching.

    Don't toss it!. I find that pieces like this are great when you have to test a run. or for oil like you mentioned. My work piece is sitting in the living room on the sofa right now. I will soon enough be to work making sure that everything is working correctly.

    I am not sure how big it is, but I think a sewing machine cover would be a great idea for it. When you are stumped for ideas, there it would be for you to remember.
