What Do I Do With The Dancing Ladies?

I discovered an old quilt piece years ago at a quilt show. At one of the sales booths, a quilter was selling quilt pieces, cut from old quilts. She salvaged what was good and provided them for quilters to finish or use in new quilts.

I was fascinated by the four stylish ladies with umbrellas and brought them home from Texas with me. Each is signed by the name of the quilter. However, I’ve not discovered just what I should do with them. I hesitate to cut them apart. So I pin them to the wall and ponder.
Perhaps I should write a story about the quilters and/or the ladies. Does each personify the quilter? I don’t think I want to make pillows. These ladies need to go into a quilt or wall hanging. But a story of their lives would be fun to accompany them.
What would you do?















I’d love to see pics of the dancing ladies!
