Please DO NOT cut it !!!

I agree with giving it some time. When I have a fabric I love and can't figure out what to do with it, I leave it out where I can see and touch it and sooner or later it tells me what to use it for

Love the fabric!

I agree - don't jump in just yet - percolate awhile ...!

That was my first thought. Use this piece as your center focal point, and build some other squares or borders around it either for a wall hanging or a little lap quilt. Very sweet fabric!

I agree just keep thinking and looking at it and then it will hit you just how to use. Make sure we see the finished quilt.

Could you cut the fabric into some same size peices, and the sew them together length wise.
Use that as a center panel, and then build a border around it.
Just a thought, good luck, let us see what you come up with.

i would use it as the center o a baby or lapquilt and then add some borders in solids to match the print.

I agree with so many of the others. Sleep on it! Think about it and ponder carefully. I would suggest using it as the centerpiece like a medallion at the center with coordinating colors and fabrics framing it. It is difficult to fussy cut such a cute fabric and get the complete picture. Good luck!

I agree with Estan. This is such sweet fabric and I couldn't possibly cut it into tiny pieces...
