kquilts: that would be an idea. This fabric must have been old. It was only 36" wide

cobrajetjohn: Large prints look good alternating with other blocks.
Jan 30 2010, 1:53 AM
kquilts: Yes, but I haven't done that much. i should give it a try with some of my other big jprints.

kquilts: Not what i usually buy

cobrajetjohn: So get some plainer to coordinate with it and use different large prints between pieced blocks of some kind. If you don't like it you donate it to the seniors.

cobrajetjohn: The cash is already spent, so just keeps you busy.

kquilts: People seem to like to come on Monday. Lots of uses, but i just haven't done it much. I did use some for attic window blocks for my Dad's quilt. I didn't want to put a lot of work into something that would see hard use.
