I just washed it and now don't know what to do with it. It's like a matlesse, so it's cushiony, very soft, 100% cotton. The print is large some of the flowers are the size of dinner plates and they are graduated in size down to a tea saucer size. There are printed stripes along the border to incorporate them, somehow.

QuickFade Intermediate USA Member since 6/7/05 Posts: 1778	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/16/10 2:49 AM I definitely vote for a blanket or pillow covers. I think the flower motifs would go well in the center of pillows and they could be surrouned by panels of coordinating colors on the edges. You could also piece together a sort of quilt by having the flowers on every other square. It's sort of a seventies look, or was that the sixties? It's kind of vintage looking. Maybe you could sell it on e-bay as vintage (if it is) and buy something easier to make up. Honestly, though I can see that in a little girl's room, or as a favorite cuddly blanket in the family room or the car on long trips. Would go with a "mod" decor in a girl's room with black, white and pink plastic chairs and side tables.

Depending on the amount of fabric, though, I'd go for the bathrobe. A matlesse kind of fab would be luscious for a robe. But then, I still need to make ME one, so that's where my brain wants to go!!! If not a bathrobe, then def a machine cover. I mean, you should use the fab wherever you'd get to see it/use it most. Since it was from your mom's stash, I think it'd give you happy thoughts (and her!!) whenever you see it (and touch it, of course!)!! Great score!!

Maybe because another of the first things that popped into my head was a kimono. The fabric has a definite Japanese look to me. How much do you have? ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

I think a kimono is it, as I need a bathrobe. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com
