10 Ways Quilters Use Their Fabric
Quilters and fabric artists, with their ingenuity, have come up with numerous types of projects in addition to the traditional bed quilt. I’m wondering how long the list could be.
I’ll start with ten. Why don’t you add some more in the comments and I’ll include them in a future post?
- Fabric bowls
- Placemats
- Table cloths
- Inchies
- Collages
- Wall hangings
- Fabric books
- Clothing of many types
- Potholders
- Fabric postcards
How do you use your fabric? What do you create? Let us know and point us to your blogs or web sites where you have some of your projects displayed.

I make crocheted rugs w/fabric strips.
Especially great for ugly fabric.

Loralie, thanks for visiting Quilting and Patchwork and sharing what you make. This reminds me of my grandmother. In addition to teaching me quiltmaking, she also crocheted rag rugs with me. She and Auntie cut or tore fabric into strips, sewed the strips, rolled them into a ball, then crocheted with a large needle as though she was crocheting with yarn. My rug tended to curl on me as I crocheted. However, I still used it on the floor beside my bed for years.
