... 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. |
what a great beach quilt! or a summer sleeping porch quilt! in a cabin, a tent , a camper-- really brighten up a place. you can use it in any scrappy pattern--the print is so big it may look like several different fabrics. really fun!!

It's really not ugly, but if you don't like it, take advantage of the nice bright colors by making a strip quilt. You can get a LOT of strips from over 3 yards of fabric. Or use it for a backing.

I like to cut my ugly fabrics into small pieces. I've had great success with using ugly fabrics in log cabins or pineapple quilts with 1" wide logs. It's time-consuming, but well worth it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]324832[/ATTACH] |
People give me fabric that I sometimes don't like. I found a block I like to use for them. It looks complicted but really isn't hard to make. It was listed in the Traditional Quiltworks Magazine issue 59. It is referred by them as Mom's Unwanted Block. When the blocks are put side by side they make a secondary pattern.
PM me if your interested. |
