They also were unsure of how to use it. As odd as it sounds I recommended adding other similarly loud prints to it. We added a whole bunch of other large-scale bright prints to it and they totally toned it down. That student used our Party of Four pattern and it looked fantastic. Don't give up on it! It just needs some good playmates!Weeks Ringlehttp://www.craftnectar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-583070728847359972010-04-10T17:20:35.522-07:002010-04-10T17:20:35.522-07:00LOL...

As for a meaningful way... I can see the pieces going into a hexagon, the tail end of a snails trail, tumble blocks could work, maybe even a stack & whack. It could even be the cent of a log cabin.<br /><br />Big fan of the bolds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867169018887675230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-92078815975053828322010-04-09T07:38:12.033-07:002010-04-09T07:38:12.033-07:00LOL!

Thanks! <br /><br />I have quite a few of these as well--and many of them came via the internet. The web does increase our ability to get a lot more fabrics, but it also increases our ability to get more What Was I Thinkings too.<br /><br />Good luck with this!Letterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-90995681192654541912010-04-08T15:01:20.433-07:002010-04-08T15:01:20.433-07:00It would be good for borders on something I've...It would be good for borders on something I've got going, but 1/4 yd isn't enough.

I have a few of those myself...I'm going to give some of them away on my blog because I can't stand to have them in my stash looking at me anymore.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246323377929476660noreply@blogger.com
