You could use most of the piece for the center of the quilt and then put boarders on it and quilt a nice stitching design on it and that would show off that pretty fabric.

Or you could use those stretch frames and stretch it on and use it for wall art.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am close to a decision, I think. :)

I like the "turning twenty" for larger prints.

You could treat it as a panel and put coordinating blocks around it...google panel quilts for ideas!

There is a book called Just Can't Cut It: Quilts from Fabulous Fabrics.

My sister just finished a BQ Quilt shown below.
