For the ITH Challenge (April 2012)

Thank you.

now wouldn't this be a good template for Jofrogs placemats!

Ok lets play.
apart from the obvious of quilt making why not do a large block and lay down a pattern on it, say of a tote, you can duplicate for the opposite side and cut out as normal fabric.
try a waistcoat, in fact anything that has a paper pattern can be used, then there are table runners and mats. toilet cistern covers sewing machine covers or anything that needs a cover for that matter.
children's toys are another goods thing to use them on, or doorstops,
How about book covers or E reader and I pad covers even a laptop could be protected by useing faux leather OOH just think of a nice shoulder bag done in faux leather or faux suede. why not fur.
will that tempt you to have a go at these.
use lightweight iron on interfacing with the sticky side face down in the hoop and the fabric face down on top of it,
this way when you turn the interfacing inside out to get those neat edges you can iron the hexagons down onto the sticky side to give a nice firm patch to work with, Done this way you can join them together with ease, I like to use a decorative stitch for that then lay the completed blocks down onto thin batting with muslin under it to stop it catching in the feed dogs and join with a in the ditch stitch.
Need more help then let me know.

Quite a few people posted projects in April last year when Sue posted the challenge. I don't think E-readers were among them.
As for the patchwork, you'd need a square to go with the octagons.

Great way to get people to think outside the octagon. :-))) but since I have no imagination, I'll opt out of this challenge because all I can see is an empty octagon. LOL!!!
