I have some Christmas fabric that I found reduced, I'm just planning what to do with it. One piece is stripy, I'm just wondering if anyone had any ideas for what to do with it - I think I know the various options for binding, I'd also thought of using it for the border, either mitered, or with another fabric as cornerstones. Obviously I can just use it as regular patches, being sure to cut with the pattern - so it's not that I don't know how to use it, more are there any ideas I'm missing!

Depending on the type of stripe:
blades of a Grandmother's Fan block Blades of a Dresden Plate block tree ornaments--applique or PP applique flower petals Fancy vase--applique or PP "wallpaper" or "curtains" in the background of an indoor scene the pointy bits of star blocks Debra in VA See my quilts at
Anne, if you are up for a challenge, use it for a mitered border and plan the liters so that the pattern matches exactly at the miters. It's a bit of a hassle but it looks just wonderful! You can also use it for a smallish Stack 'N Whack or kaleidoscope type piecing. there's about a jillion different things you can do with it. Have fun and good luck!

Use as sashing?
There is always my favorite Kaleidoscope! and also a 60 deg. shape and also Lemoyne star points which make WONDERFUL star blocks......

Ignore the stripes.

forgot to mention that one, yes, I do have a design mocked up which uses it as sashing!
