Hello Rosanna, welcome from northern Minnesota!

Sorry, I don't really have any ideas for you but will be interested to see what others have to say.

Wow, I would love to make something from these, it is such a unique piece of fabric. Figure out what size square you can capture from the bag and then look for a quilt block that has a center square that size. Then you can find a complimentary fabric(s) to go with it based on the block you selected. If you have any left over at the end that you would like to sell let me know!!!! Good luck it will be beautiful.

Thank You All for your thoughts and help. I went to the web site that Midge suggested and printed out info. I also found a picture of one already made for sale on ebay and got the picture now in my mind. I think I have 2-300 bags so maybe I can make a queen both top and bottom. I appreciate your help very much. Maybe when I get it done I'll take a picture and post it. , Rosanna

I would choose a block that has a focal--like in the middle of a star--even a simple friendship star. And just choose complimentary colors and fabrics to go with. Look in mystery quilt search as I just posted one that would work for you. Here is the page. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-55717-1.htm
