    What about just using it as it is and adding borders. If you cut it up, you will loose the pattern. Some fabrics....you just can't cut it.

    I agree as well,... the fabric looks 'quilty' all by itself... just a border or two

    I would cut in vertical strips and put each strip on either side of a vertical row of Variable Stars. I did something similar with a fabric that I didn't want to cut too much.

    Fussy cutting the rectangles, adding borders around each rectangle. would make a nice wall hanging or even a full size quilt. They would make nice frames for a block, or sashing.... the possiblities ar endless! Nice fabric! If you get bored with it, send it my way....LOL!
    Happy Stitching!
