I used another yard to make a pillowcase or you could alternate pieced blocks with "solid" blocks of the text fabric.

I knew there was a term for cutting fabrics so as to feature the print, and I think "fussy cut" is what I was looking for!Angela McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928913868086900802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-32133139406751863892017-06-08T08:29:15.469-04:002017-06-08T08:29:15.469-04:00Now that's something I hadn't thought of! ...Now that's something I hadn't thought of!

It would be 48" by 48" and if you fussy cut your prints for those half squares, you could really showcase the fabric! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-16128639084167074932017-06-07T22:59:51.512-04:002017-06-07T22:59:51.512-04:00If you want to make a lap or bed quilt you could u...If you want to make a lap or bed quilt you could use the 2 yards as the back. What about using the fabrics for something else like a purse or pillows?

I'll have to look to see what other ideas I could find.

The Sacred Fabric shall not be cut! ...Dear Angela,<br /><br />The Sacred Fabric shall not be cut! <br /><br />And it doesn’t have to be cut if you use the Trapunto Quilting method. I have acquired several pieces of Sacred Fabric during my lifetime and have used this method on them and they turned out beautiful. One of them I used for a pillow top, one was used for the front of a jacket, and another I fashioned into a tote bag for sewing supplies. The others are still waiting to be done. Here are some links that explain the technique. There are also some online videos that you might want to look at or check the library for this book.<br /><br />Quilting: All About Trapunto (Quilting)by Donna Friebertshauser <br /><br />https://www.craftsy.com/blog/trapunto-make-quilt-pop/<br /><br />http://www.quiltingassistant.com/trapunto.html<br /><br /><br />Happy Trapunto Quilting!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Mary JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
