    ohhh so many good suggestions -- didn't think about tying it in with a lamp shade cover in one of the brighter colors, Definately a Wall Hanging ***see the group Quilt Escape*** hehehe I love how you quilted it too, didn't make too many lines to distract from that gorgeous fabric! Beautiful job

    You could do Euro Shams, they are the big square pillow shams. Since this block is square, you could add borders until it's about 25x25 and buy the Euro pillow insert (JoAnn's) and have a decorator look! And a bolster pillow. The long skinny pillow that sits on the bed infront of the shams. It's just like making a pillow. Using a rectangle, sew around four sides leaving an opening to turn and stuff. Once stuffed, stitch closed. Then, take your two points on the end, pull down until they touch each other, tack add a decorator button. SEW easy! Do the same on the other end with points, tacking and adding a button.

    Waaalaaa! You have a bedding ensemble! Great colors btw.

    PS: You could also make a Euro sham with four of your blocks too!

    I don't have any suggestions for using your leftover fabric, but your quilt is stunning. I love it!! Great job!

    Wow........gorgeous quilt.....love the bright colors and prints! The Roman glass print from K Fasset is my favorite. I'm thinking some interesting throw pillows and table runners for bedside tables and/or a wall hanging of favorite prints above the bed. Great job!

    I have 8-9 pillows on my bed at all times, 3 regular size ones, two king size ones, one body pillow, and at least 2 throw pillows. With scraps, I love to make the V and Co. Shutter/pleated pillow that she did a tutorial on with Jenny. I have samples of my beds with pillows in my albums, as well as samples of the pleated pillows.

    Your Kaffe Fasset quilt is " knok your socks off" gorgeous! Beautiful!

    Throw pillows! That's what I'd make. You can also make pillowcases for your sleeping pillows. Each pillowcase takes a yard of fabric. They are easy to make. Jenny has a video.

    No wonder you are 'Happygram'! That has got to be one of the happiest quilts I have seen. So cheerful! It looks nice over the pillows. Maybe the extra could be made for a CoC or ICU quilt. Check out the Group section for more information. Can't help but feel better looking at those pretty colors.

    WOW! This looks great! I love the bright colors. It makes it so cheerful looking. No advice on what to do but maybe some throw pillows would be nice.
    Be blessed,

    God has a plan and it is a good plan.
