Wonder Fabric!

2/8/2009

Someone from the Stashbusters group coined the term, "Wonder Fabric," as in,

"I wonder how THAT got into my stash?" or

"I wonder what I was thinking when I bought that?" or

"I wonder who would design something so hideous?"

Well, this little gem truly has me wondering. Fortunately, there is only 1 yard of it. I thought I was challenged by the Morticia Addams brown floral, but this one really has me stumped. Maybe if I cut it into truly tiny squares and mix it with lots of other fabric for a postage stamp quilt, the horror of it might be sufficiently diluted. Any ideas?

I *wonder* what you will make ;o) Something like an Irish chain block or puss in the corner (http://www.pbase.com/seekathysew/image/54583677) with a white on white fabric might break it up and tone it down a bit...

Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Well, Jane, what I made of it is a new friend. I arranged a trade with a fellow Stashbuster (the poor, unsuspecting dear, who will be shocked when she sees this stuff "in the flesh").
By the way, your puss in the corner quilt is lovely!

Hi Margaret

Am I the unsuspecting poor dear?

I believe you sent me this very fun floral and I sent you a couple of fabric postcards in landscape design?

Still loving the fabric, but agree that it would difficult to put into a quilt.

thank YOU again,

warm quilt hugs, sue from CA and stashbusters group.

Sue, Darling! Oh, yes, the postcards are so fabulous! In fact, I love them so much, I'm going to post some photos. You won't mind, will you?
