New fabrics, a couple of bits and any ideas?

I bought these rather gorgeous fabrics on Saturday, not sure what I am going to make with them - any ideas?
They are Michael Miller - Gray Citron and Back - yum yum yum!



Been busy with my leftover squares and scraps from Freya's quilt and made a little kitchen set, tea cosy, pot stand and pot holder.  Nearly every scrap is used up now - the quilt was strip machined from a jelly roll so there were lots of strip end etc and two squares,  I can probably squeeze out another potholder but that will be that.
Valentine's day I made this pillow, out of yet more of my silk scraps - not much of those left either!
Finally, these came in the mail - some train fabrics for a quilt for my son, I need to think of a pattern, which maybe tricky because some of the prints are quite large - I shall get on EQ5 and have a play. Once again I am accepting any ideas!
Have a look at what everyone else has completed this week on Sew and Tell Friday, there is some amazing work.

  2. Your silk projects are wonderful. Is it difficult to sew with silk? I have a box of silk and have yet to use them in anything.

  4. You did some great projects with your leftover fabrics. I need to make some potholders myself. I love those Michael Miller fabrics. I'm sure whatever you make with those will turn out great. Good luck finding a project for your son's train fabrics. So cute.

  6. Your pillows are fantastic! I am really loving the look of the silks. I also am really loving the grey, citron and black fabrics.

  7. The Michael Miller fabrics are telling me they need to be made into a book or kindle cover, a cell phone case, a wallet, or coupon holder. Something like that.

    The trains to me say split nine patches mixed in with large squares to compliment the prints.

    The finishes, well, what can I say, except good job. I love those hearts!

  11. I too have a boy who loves trains. The panel piece you have at the back was inspiration for my son's quilt. I just came up with my own design. I am not good at this and I was having math nightmares over it. I did a strippy quilt with the big sqaures and put a couple of borders around the smaller sqaues.
