    Default Suggestions and ideas for this fabric

    In the process of some (more) organizing, I found a box of Asian-themed fabrics I bought from Craftsy, at least 2 years ago. There are 14 different 1-yard pieces, and an additional 2-yd piece that I stuck with the rest. I know I just bought it because it was a good price and I love Asian fabrics.

    Now...
    What do I do with them?!?!?!?!?

    Make some Kimona themed quilts. There are lots of patterns for that kimono shape and these would be wonderful for that theme. Add a neutral that will draw them all together.

    Of course large HST quilts in different patterns are nice too.

    Use them for a Japanese lantern pieced pattern.

    Look up the pattern "Hanging Gardens" if you are not familiar with it. I think they would be gorgeous made up that way. Maybe a consistent neutral 4-patch in the center. Please post a pic when you complete it. The fabrics are beautiful, and I'm not a real fan of orientals.

    Shadow Box is great. It won't use up all of your fabric but it will showcase each one. Use the largest print for a stunning purse.

    Dresden ? Sidelights?

    What about the Passacaglia. Some of those fabrics would be great fussy cuts.

    Charisma just posted a quilt on her blog that would be a great pattern for that fabric.

    Double Slice by Jenny Doan comes to mind for these fabrics.
