    Default Love this fabric - but what to do with it???

    I saw this fabric and I just fell in love with it... so of course I had to buy it.

    Now I am looking at it wondering what pattern to use.... any suggestions?

    Well, I would fussy cut the different pictures and make great quilts for kids or a great laptop quilt for Christmas or other events. I would use red and black and grey, and white and come up with some great blocks. Just my thoughts.

    Definitely fussy cut and border left and bottom of each either with brown, black or white sashing. Varying the sashing to accentuate each picture! Good luck with whatever you do with this sweet fabric. Don't forget to post pics when done...and along the way, should you wish! We all love to see progress!

    BQ or BQ2 comes to mind. from mapleislands.com site. 10 or 12 inch squares with light and dark rectangles on two sides. you just have to watch the prints to keep the squares print up right.

    I'd have a hard time deciding how to fussy cut this fabric. No matter how you cut it you end up chopping off someone's head or behind. So, I'd buy extra fabric first! That way you can get a "whole" scene to work with. I wouldn't be concerned if what you end up with after fussy cutting is a square, or a rectangle, or free form. You can always add a grassy or woody fabric to make them all the same size.
