    Yes, have to agree on that! Really sort of grows on you if you really look at it. It would look great in an I Spy quilt but then that would not use up much of it.

    You can always make doggie quilts for the animal shelter or animal rescue organization. I'm sure Fido would love it. Actually I can see little boys loving it at Head Start or some such place.

    Just had another brain storm. Do you know any serious bikers (I mean motor cycle black leather types)?

    Maybe it wouldn't be so bad as a stack and whack, it looks like it has a small repeat, looks like you might have 8 repeats which would make a small quilt.

    This is just a thought, but if you made a quilt like Yelow Brick Road or Turning Twenty and toned this fabric down a little with more black and maybe some gray and a little red as the other fabrics, it might just work.

    The fabric looks like an Ed Hardy design which is very popular with teens and 20'somethings. Why not make a purse and offer it for sale.

    Know any teen girls? Three ring binder covers, notebook covers, bandanas, vests over tshirts, picture frames, mirror frames, anything a teen girl would use. My teen daughter loves those fabrics.
