I just have to tell you that I was sorting and straightening fabric a week or two back and found that I also have a piece of it! Not any that you have shown... but I have some! Funny thing is I bought it for a patriotic quilt I was going to make... I don't even remember it being a Millenium piece! Guess I had better cut it up and use it! The old addage.... Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do with out, comes back to haunt me time and time again... when I see something like this that I've probably had for a long time! Although, I did also find a piece that I was going to use that had a date of 1997 on it... soooo as long as I'm using it... I guess it's alright!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35477390255515285032011-10-05T19:15:11.578-04:002011-10-05T19:15:11.578-04:00If I ever saw any millennium fabrics I didn't ...If I ever saw any millennium fabrics I didn't buy it! And the most embarrassing thing in my sewing room is the vast number of UFOs. My 100% cotton fabric could go to my guild's community service committee for all the good projects they do in the community but who will want the UFOs? The mystery quilt began but not finished, the BOMs (2-12 blocks done depending upon the BOM), the quilt pattern I just had to do and bought all the fabric for and cut out and sewed a block or two and something came up and it got put aside and forgotten, the quilts I began in classes and never finished! The list could go on and on! I won't admit to how many I have...because when my daughter helped me clean my sewing room 3 years ago we agreed there were way too many to even begin counting! I will definitely have something to do if my retirement years are lean money wise!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610078566703525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71322789591618572212011-10-05T18:42:19.348-04:002011-10-05T18:42:19.348-04:00Great find in the mail box, Bonnie.

It was in a scrap bag I bought from the guild boutique at a quilt show. Someone else obviously thought it was too ugly to use! It is still there because I saved it for another quilter in an internet group. She was supposed to send a postage paid envelope for it and never did. I guess she decided it was too ugly also!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136264132659958527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-7964604098907672992011-10-05T11:14:04.079-04:002011-10-05T11:14:04.079-04:00Hmmm, my ugliest fabric?

Well, I do have a piece of Y2K fabric, but I think it is kind of cute--it has the M&M characters on a black background with brightly colored M&Ms. I have been thinking about fussy cutting the M&Ms and using them somehow in a child's quilt. I have other fabrics I'm not crazy about, but I envision them cut small and they will be fine!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57030304668949837742011-10-05T10:51:08.524-04:002011-10-05T10:51:08.524-04:00About 10 years ago, my grown kids asked what I wan...About 10 years ago, my grown kids asked what I wanted for Xmas, and so I thought....this will be easy this year! I said, all you have to do is go into ANY quilt shop, and pick out a few fat quarters! Ask the gal at the desk what they are! I was so delighted to think I was going to be overloaded with a variety of fq's.<br /><br />Well....my middle son's gift was a 4 yard cut piece of Cheater Cloth! It's in Americana colors of beige, dusty blue, and brick red! And it's in the Double Wedding Ring design! UGH! Everyone says use it as a back.....but it's just too damned ugly for that! I guess I should just strip it down into strings.....thin thin strings! Ugh!<br /><br />What makes me really crazy is that some woman at the quilt counter told him to buy it! That's just wrong!

It is a huge print of large champagne bottles with 2000 on them and some fireworks or confetti in the background. I figure I will use it up in scrappy bindings over time. Hopefully it will be gone before the next millennium!Not Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450458967223521985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90564020525591015522011-10-05T10:12:15.445-04:002011-10-05T10:12:15.445-04:00Another idea for the millenium fabric is if someon...Another idea for the millenium fabric is if someone would just make a quilt out of just millenium fabrics. Quite a remembrance - as well as someone else might love it and the quilt would be so special. I remember that night because my husband was Deputy Chief of Police and he had to stay at the station all night in case the town and/or computers went beserk. I am sure others have strong memories of when we turned 2000. BTW I do NOT want that fabric as mine has been given away.
