    I think they are kind of neat. I don't ever find cool fabric like that, I must shop in the wrong places!!

    The marshmallows would be a good background for a Christmas quilt. Eouls made great snow!!! And yes attack and whack or the 4 patch posy blocks which would be much easier and just as much fun.

    Rylandon3...I think the new Connecting Threads catalog has some new fabric dealing with books, etc. I would go online and look.

    I wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with those fabrics!!! lol

    When my younger DD was a kid she swam on a competitive team. Her passion (same with many of the girls) was boxer shorts in ANY wild and crazy print. So there is definitely a market for bright unusual prints. I've bought plenty!

    I got the new Connecting Threads catalog this past week and they have a new line of fabrics called "Bookish". I'm going to order some for myself, just because I'm an avid reader and love books : )

    I love the kaboom one. I'd love to match it with my Batman panels! Have you seen the OLD timey Batman shows (The real life ones--not cartoons!). My kids would get a kick out of that fabric and it would be great on a boy's quilt.

    I guess I'd start thinking about what wishbones made me think of...such as birthday wishes or holiday turkey? Marshmallows...fluff, soft, mushy...yeah, that one's a bit difficult. lol Boom, pow, zang, etc...fireworks, man-quilt? New Energy drink cans...maybe power of some sort? Maybe even a Man-quilt...power tools to go with the power drinks? Open end cans...soda pop, skate boards, roller skates, etc?
