Brain dead....
I have about 1 yard of this Scooby cotton that my grandson loves. I would
like to use it as the focal print in a quilt for him either for next Christmas or for his room in their new home. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc...04104487776.db -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 |

Mary:
I'm no expert as most of the others are in this NG, but I've had an idea of taking a full yard of fabric, not cutting into it, but using it as the center of a quilt and just putting several coordinating borders around it. Then I would quilt either around the design in the center fabric or some such thing. Does that sound like it would be do-able and/or logical? Just thinking "through my fingers"!

You could make snowball blocks from it, alternating with snowball blocks in
a plain color that coordinates. -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "Mary in Oregon" wrote in message ...

IIRC the centres are 6" (finished) squares and the logs are cut at 2", giving 1.5" finished logs. Lizzy -- Lizzy Taylor Heywood, Lancashire, UK 53:36:00N 2:06:00E http://www.thetaylorfamily.org.uk |

Mary,
Maybe you could fussy cut the pics of Scooby, make a snowball block with that and a nine patch using coordinating fabrics? Martha "Mary in Oregon" wrote in message ...
