I'll be interested in seeing what suggestions are here as I also have several yards of eyelet material.
One thought I had was to put it as a wide border on a quilt that I make a scalloped edge on. Nancy also |
I was given some lovely eyelet which I used for the apron on a giant sized SunBonnet Sue. I have also used it in piecing. In both cases, another fabric showed through from underneath. I don't worry about quilt police, but I don't want to look at the batting through the fabric.

I love seeing some texture in a quilt - I think eyelet lace would be lovely! Who makes up those so called "rules" anyway? :lol:
|
I used it as the badse of the fan in Grandmothers Fan, the background color showed through and it looks and worked great.
|
It would be lovely. I'd used a very white muslin under it. Not much added weight, but a filter to hold the batting.

I use it in different applications.
Over the years I've made a dozen or so of this quick machine applique baby quilt. Sorry, it's a scan of an old picture, so not very clear, but you get the idea. I always use eyelet for the clouds. Sometimes I applique it right over the background fabric so the "sky" shows through (like a real cloud:)) and also used it with iron-on fleece to give it a fluffy dimension. In any event, we all have immunity from the quilt police. Their laws do not apply in our world. |

In my area, we have a saying, "There are no quilt police in Trinity County."
