Not that I'm giving you guys power over my stash, but I would be
interested in hearing your ideas. At the local quilt show I bought
four fat quarters, all with classic Blue Willow designs. Two have the
traditional white background, two have the light yellow background. I
also bought a yard of the most incredible deep blue (same shade as the
fq's) cotton jacquard. So this is where my energies will turn within a
week or two.
What would you do with Blue Willow themed fabric?
Sunny
Just curious.

My wife collects Blue Willow dishes. I made a small wall hanging for
her using the fabrics I had, which aren't the real things. (Sorry its
in Webshots. Where did you get the fabric? I might try to get some if
its the real pattern.

Dresden Plate blocks come to mind. I'm thinking a deeper yellow
background and the deeper blue for the centers and sachings.
But that may be too obvious for you. ;-)

Denny, I bought the fabric from a vendor who buys close-out and
discontinued fabric lots. This is Lakehouse Designs and she said it
was several years old. I looked online and did find this link:
http://www.lovemontana.com/list_pricing/staffordshire.html which I
might have to buy if I didn't already have my fqs. I don't think I
would want four yards of Blue Willow.
Leslie, that was the first thing I thought of. And it may go that way
yet. But I'm also sitting here trying to draw teapots and tea cups and
saucers. I may have to make something that looks like Meemaw's china
shelf. I learned to drink black coffee off one of her Blue Willow
saucers. She would pour a bit from the cup into the saucer and add a
bit of water, then blow it to cool and I could sip the coffee out of
the saucer once it was cool enough. I hated the taste at first, but I
would have eaten worms if I had to in order to sit in Meemaw's lap and
drink out of her Blue Willow.

I've seen a quilt like that! It looked much like the library/bookshelf
quilts that were so poplar except it was a china cabinet. Each teapot had a
different curve to it- some taller and more slender, some short and squatty,
some with curves down low and some curved higher, etc. It was just darling!
I have no idea where to find it, tho. Sorry.
And I'd be tempted to add some similar fabrics with green or yellow or peach
or deeper pinks in the prints on the teapots- just for fun.
