using stripes
I have some Christmas fabric that I found reduced, I'm just planning
what to do with it. One piece is stripy, I'm just wondering if anyone had any ideas for what to do with it - I think I know the various options for binding, I'd also thought of using it for the border, either mitered, or with another fabric as cornerstones. Obviously I can just use it as regular patches, being sure to cut with the pattern - so it's not that I don't know how to use it, more are there any ideas I'm missing! Anne |

Anne, if you are up for a challenge, use it for a mitered border and plan
the liters so that the pattern matches exactly at the miters. It's a bit of a hassle but it looks just wonderful! You can also use it for a smallish Stack 'N Whack or kaleidoscope type piecing. there's about a jillion different things you can do with it. Have fun and good luck! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

Mary Mashuta wrote a lovely book about using stripes in
quilts. Maybe your local library can get this one for you. Or maybe you will find it on RCTM. Lots of good ideas in that book.
