    It is adorable fabric and looks like it will be fun to make something with it--what? No clue here but you will find something I am sure that will get you going.

    backing on a quilt? You could fussy cut some of it for the front too.

    There are some "pillow panel" out there that go with that fabric. I got them off ebay. I would use beachy fabrics to go with it. Flip flops, beach balls, beach umbrellas, etc.

    It's a fun fabric

    For erstan947 and quiltingcandy - can you tell me more about the beach hat? Are there patterns out there for matching totes and hats? I have never saw patterns for hats before. I must live a sheltered life. lol.

    Thanks for the input to all of you.
    There are McCall's and Simplicity patterns for floppy beach hats as well as other styles. There is one here. You can omit the embroidery design: http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/elprojects/pdf/pr1359.pdf Here is another one, not as large a brim: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/20...le_sun_ha.html

    BQ is a pattern that has 12" plain blocks for using big prints.

    There's also BQ2 and BQ3 (and maybe more).

Then I started thinking about fussy cutting it and placing a border around each cut.

    Then when taking the pictures, I noticed that I bought the same print on two different backgrounds.

    I am open to all suggestions. Thanks for any advice.
    Only one picture sticks out, all the rest have overlaps, so a fussy cut wouldn't be the best choice.

    I'd just use big pieces for a center panel or maybe a tote or for a purse.
