Anything can be made from this fabric...I love it. How about a quilt, etc.

I like the idea of adding borders - for size - then just outline quilting. The fabric is too cute to cut up. ;)

So, here I am waiting for your answers...thanks!

Fuuny, last night I was at guild, and the speaker was Sally Schneider. She said that she had a favorite fabric that for years she just kept in her stash. Then she finally decided to use it, and cut it into small pieces, and now she enjoys it in several quilts (she does scrappy). Even though there is just one small piece on a quilt, it is her favorite block on that quilt, just because of that fabric and it always makes her smile. So, she said - cut it up!

great suggestion. Be sure to make squares large enough to save your designs.

I wouldn't cut it up, you would lose the designs. Use it in something that will at least show a large part of the designs together. I like the fabric.

You could use the whole piece, add some borders, & make it a prayer shawl for someone who likes birds. :-D

I was first thinking to fussy cut it, but there isn't enough space betwen the bird houses, you would be cutting into the next house, so I would use as a table runner and add border. Love the fabric.
