I would do a simple purse or a pillowcase.

I do not know any little girl who would not love a purse! Or, since you have so much fabric a purse is good but also maybe a tote bag. She will love putting her things in fabric that cute! Let us know what you decide to do...with a pic of course :)

A pillow to cuddle with a pretty ruffled border with pink bows!

I agree with the pillow case idea too.. she won't have another one like it that is for sure..(Neither will anyone else.)

I have fussy cut this fabric and made an I-spy type quilt with it. It is really cute that way and you need less fabric - combine with another fabric or sash between the blocks.

I would leave it as is. Make a sandwich. Turn it pillowcase style. Run a cpl. of crisscross seams to stabilize it. The easiest I can think of.

I would border it, and outline quilt the ballerinas. Quick and easy

I would leave the fabric as a whole piece, and make a border using one of the colors in the fabric. Either tie the quilt, or do some echo quilting around the ballerinas. or some large meandering. I think it would lokk cute just to tie it.
