I wouldn't cut it at all. It is just right as it is. Just make a comforter (any size) and put on a checkerboard border of a water print/nautical flags/red check.

Cute fabric. Would make a great tote, sewing machine cover, pillow cases. Be sure to post when you have decided what to make. Would like to see the final product.

It's really cute, I would hate to cut it up but an apron , BQ quilt, or the backing for a fun quilt.

I like the idea of using a good sized piece of it as the center of a quilt and adding fun borders to size it out. I agree the flip-flop and other summer fun fabrics would be great for bordering this.

I think it would make a cute snowball block. just find some plain coordinating fabric. this way you won't lose much of the cute print.

I think I would fussy cut them onto a wall hanging...or go with the bag and hat. I made a hat once that had a nice wide floppy brim, but use a solid color on the linning.

my 2 cents

I agree, any of the BQ patterns would work and look nice.

A wall quilt, or table topper with a center panel and bright borders.
A tote would be so much fun!
