Need Pattern for Ugly Fabric
I can't help it, but when I find fabric at an insane price, I have to buy it. I don't even care what it looks like, I have to bring it home. I found this fabric at an estate sale back in the fall. Over 3 yards for $1.00! Now I don't have a clue what to do with it. Any pattern ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.

They say to use ugly fabric for OBW or 4PP or SAW!
... you might not have enough variation in the print to have the kaleidos look good.
Count your # of repeats on the side of the fabric .... and check it out with the mirrors.

it may work nicely for a one block wonder. or cut it into 5" squares, add 5" solid snowball blocks.
or....
hey the sky's the limit- it's a nice fabric- i can think of a hundred different projects i would use it in.

It would work for OBW but you might not get too many variations in the blocks. Use a couple of mirrors at different places on it to see if you like it. I think I might go with Warm Wishes and use blue and yellow in the pieced blocks. I think your fabric with those two added colours may look really good.
