How about the BACKING for a large quilt that you will make and keep for yourself? Any extra - and it seems you will have extra!!!! - can be used for some little areas within the quilt top! Good luck Aquarius.

I it woulod fit into your decor, make a bed quilt for your bed with it. He would see the results of his purchase for you, and you could back it with the yardage you have.
IMHO fussy cutting for star blocks seems like a good idea. If you don't really care for the pattern that much, a mariner's compass, or feathered star would be fitting for the zodiac theme.

I am an Aquarius, and I'm thrilled knowing that it's on it's way.
I've got a TON of ideas from everyone - thanks!! I probably will make at least one pillow (already have the pillow form) so it's exciting.

How about something like an I spy, or Cathedrial window?
Think this would look neat if you were "looking out the window at the sky"...and then use what's left in the backing, even if you have to put squares of it with other fabrics.
Nice hubby! Mine just wishes I'd use some of mine!

Aquarius fabric!!
And, not only that, but he said, "I don't know how much yardage goes into a big quilt, but I got you 8 yards. Hope that's enough."
So... what would you make with it??
