    Saw this fabric and fell in love with the polar bears. So, I bought 2 yds of each. Now I have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?

    Cut the top one into a panel and use the other two to make different kinds of borders.

    Oooh pretty stuff, it would be a shame to cut up those bears (I have a fabric that I am having the same problem with), could you make use the bears as a center panel and then maybe do some blocks as a border around the sides?

    I see a lovely wall hanging with the bears in the center, small border of 3rd fabric, border of triangles of 2 & 3, another small border, then binding. I'd use the 2nd fabric for the backing.

    I think you could design a throw if you buy some dark brown like the twigs to break up the design a little. I have a pattern that is called a BQ (I think) that uses large pieces I will go and see If I can find it for you.

    I like that idea. I never think of wall hangings, but I'll bet my grandson would like it for his room.

    Sounds great. I think I have enough to do both a throw and a wall hanging... if I introduce something else into the throw. Then I could give GS the wall hanging and keep the throw for those long winter nights in front of the fireplace.
