When I have a piece of fabric bought without a particular project in mind, I have to try it on a few places. Do you try things on?
This brown print, uneven raw edges and all, was our tablecloth for 2 meals.
This scrap with tropical print, along with this small length of fringe, may find themselves in a pillow, maybe 10" x 22" with fringe on the ends?
And this is my favorite - a soft green/ gray-blue/ cream piece that may work well as a runner on my buffet. When the Sm'Arties came over, there it was, selvedges hanging out shamelessly. The flora and fauna are very Florida-looking, don't you think?
See the ferns and butterfly?
How about this shy lizard?

Hi K! That piece on the buffet looks like it just belongs there! I have a serious addiction to fabric. I can't go through a fabric store without looking at the remnants bin - you can find amazing bits and pieces in the remnants, and they are CHEAP! :o) B.
What a good idea to find the perfect place for your fabrics! I love to audition fabrics I am using for quilting - never thought to do it for homewares too.
