How much do you have? Can you make a one block and make a large wall hanging? Maybe put it in a picture frame? or stretch it over canvas? I like the idea of taking it to your LQS and let them look at it. Maybe you wouldn't have to cut it up. Just display it some other way. It's beautiful.

I, too, love iris and I don't know if I could stand to cut that beautiful fabric. I agree with those who suggested checking with a quilt museum to ascertain age and historical value, if any, before doing anything to destroy it. If they say there is no reason to save it, then you can make all kinds of lovely things if you can bear to cut it. LOL And I will be begging for your scraps. LOL again!!!
