so material is 3 different sized square/ rectangles. 40cm x 35, 40 & 45cm's

it is very pretty gingham/stripes with embroidery flowers and insects.

I have no inspiration about what can make the most of this lovely fabric.

any ideas?

No, I am sitting here being very jealous... However sighs How heavy is the fabric... are we talking cottons or is this upholstery fabrics, as I suspect?

Really with the sizes of squares you have, we are talking some sort of quilting project... so this is either going to be a form of bag, cushions etc.

We need more info, please

I will have a look at the material in a min (when I'm out of the bath) and let you know what it says on it.

Have you just got the three squares? how about some bunting or is there enough of it to make a purse/small bag with different fabrics for different pockets etc?

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 04/08/2012 18:16

the book has 24 squares, slightly different shades of pinks and greens and blues and yellows

Bunting
Patchwork thingy (thinking Cath Kidston type stuff)
You could patch it together and then make patchwork girls dress?

OP can you make a bag or cushions? Patchwork cushions, placemats?
