what about making them into pot holders?? ive done a few and everyone seems to like them.

Very nice! The mini ones are so adorable, how about using them as flower heads and add stems and leaves for a hanging or table topper? I will have to try this someday soon, intriquing! Thanks for sharing and also for your instructions and pattern, you are kind. Antylu

They would make great mug rugs or hot plates for holiday gifts. The patterns are pretty and year-round. Thanks for sharing.

[QUOTE=Rhonda;308223]I am in progress with these I will applique them onto a tote bag or other small project.

How about using them as the crown for baby bonnets :D

Rhonda, I think you should consider selling these! I love to have things like this on hand so I can whip out giftie things fast.. I would then use them on totes or pillows or table toppers, etc... Would save me lots of time! And yet I could make nice gifts..

You could have different categories and colors... Personally I would like some Romantics, some Civil War, some 1930's...

I'm excited about all the possibilities!

[QUOTE=KeenKountryKreations;5757256]Interesting idea! I'm not a seamstress tho. but would love to see one if you make one!

very nice work

the flower head idea makes a really pretty quilt. i have a quilt top made by my grandmother from 30's or 40's not sure but i went to live with her in the early 50's and she was no longer making quilt tops then. but the top she made has dresden plate blocks with brown circle in middle of plates and a long stem. i have never seen another like it and your comment is the first time i have seen someone else come up with the idea. i don't know if gramma got the idea from a friend or if it was her idea. she was a very fun & imaginative sewer...my favorite thing she did was to make a shirt for me with every piece of the garment a different fabric...like a "joseph's coat".

They are gorgeous. You picked just the perfect fabrics to do the kaleidoscopes with

They are beautiful. I would starch them and maybe make a lining for the underside with pellon iron on glue like they use for applique. You could make table scarves from some of them, the flowers especially, even coasters from the small ones. I bet they would sell like crazy on Ebay, Etsy or somewhere like that or they would make very elegant presents also.
