I have researched the ideas you have given me. They are all great! I have decided to try the following:

bow tuck purse - dh asked why since I do not carry a purse
beach hat and matching tote
BQ quilt
warm wishes quilt

I am saving the other ideas for some other fabrics I have in my stash.

Dh and I are participating in the Quilt Across Texas shop hop and the quilt shop that I purchased this fabric at is on the list. I will check to see if there is more there. I think I will need another yard of the blue background.

Once again, thank you for all the encouragement, ideas and support. I will post pictures of the projects.

Now after looking it over, I am at a loss on how to use it in a quilt. At first, I was thinking about using it as a 6 or 8 inch border. Then I started thinking about fussy cutting it and placing a border around each cut.

Then when taking the pictures, I noticed that I bought the same print on two different backgrounds.

I am open to all suggestions. Thanks for any advice.

I would make a wall hanging and enhance it with beads, glitter, sequence etc, but that's just my style. :idea:

I like this idea. It will make great backing, and it would be hard to do many fussy cuts with it the way it is designed -- you can cut around the entire picture of some of them.

One could be used for the center piece of a quilt using the other for a border (with a solid border in between). Would be cute as a tote or hand bag. Sure is cute fabric.
