DH is a keeper! Beautiful fabric and plenty of it to use for a top and backing.

8 yards is plenty to make a quilt by itself and use as a wall quilt or for your bed.

Aquarius fabric!!

And, not only that, but he said, "I don't know how much yardage goes into a big quilt, but I got you 8 yards. Hope that's enough."

So... what would you make with it??

Jenn, First you have to love the thought your DH put into this gift. Secondly I'd make a quilt with the large area of the overall design of the fabric, border and binding in fabric of your choice and then make some pillows using different scenes on the fabric with borders to accent the quilt and enjoy having a quilt just for you :-D :-D :-D :-D

How about BQ, large enough squares to show off the fabric and you'd probably have enough to do the back as well.

I'd fussy cut some, piece the vast majority of it for a quilt backing (for a reversible coverlet/quilt), and try to make some shams out of the rest of the scraps.

That was very sweet of him to do. I didn't even know they had fabric like that. I looked and fabric.com has it on sale but only until the 24th . darn I said no more fabric but for that I would have made and exception No money until the 3rd.
