Does anyone have any bright ideas for using up the bags of lace that I've been "blessed" with? LOL.. I was thinking pillows, with all the different types stitched side by side, vertically.. but how about an idea for something in a quilt... some of you gals come up with the best ideas.. and my brain is stuck on this one..B

Re: Ruffles
If you have pre-gathered lace, how about twirling some up to make roses to embellish a quilt or pillow. I would use the same technique as using ribbon to make roses minus the hot glue and take a few stitches to hold them together. -

In one of the snap bag tutes there was a bag with ruffles. It was cute for little girls.🌺 LorieComment

Re: Ruffles
If you have wide, flat lace it might work to overlay it on a solid strip of fabric in a quilt.K is for Karen 😊​ Albuquerque, NM..................

Re: Ruffles
This is made with ruffles, not lace...but you might be able to do something similar with pretty lace pieces.

I like Bubby's idea, swirley flowers sound very springy, and we could use that right now!Comment

Re: Ruffles
you could make a crazy quilt with lace overlays and ruffles. Ruffled lace can always be unruffled and used flat.

Re: Ruffles
I've seen strips of lace used as the frothy waters edge in seascape landscape quilts. Looks real.;)Nancy
I got a sewing machine for my husband. Good trade, huh!?!

Re: Ruffles
As soon as I read lace and quilts I also thought of Crazy Quilts! LOLOriginally posted by Iris Girl View Post
Eleanor Burns has a pattern where she makes hearts and surrounds it with lace. I can't remember which pattern book - It might be Quilting Through the Seasons. It would make a pretty girly quilt.
