The pattern is lovely, I would not cut this fabric I would just quilt it.

If you don't want to use it on a back, look for a pattern with big blocks so you won't have to cut it up. You could even design your own quilt pattern/block.

I would make pillow cases for grandkids!

I loved this fabric as well. I bought it and any other FQ etc. of animals, barns, tractors etc. Made a "farm" theme quilt for my grandson that loves all things country! Used chicken wire fabric for the solid blocks between prints, borders and backing. Used old fashioned tacking instead of quilting it. Really liked how it turned out. I fussy cut the blocks that used this piece and others to take advantage of all the cute things on it. Used 6 inch blocks by the way and made a large "throw" size.

I would use the BQ2 pattern, I've made it several times with large prints and it always turns out well!

This is my all time favorite pattern to use with spectacular prints - Walk About by Grizzly Gulch. To set off the center squares - I have added a small border - cut 1" - finish at 1/2". (sorry the pic is so large - don't know how to make it smaller!!)

BQ4 and BQ5 are also good patterns to use. BQ4 uses rectangles and squares. I did a quilt for our local Dog Beach fundraiser (Halloween Howl) using BQ4. The dog fabric I used was directional and I used it in the rectangles also I had to be careful about having all the blocks facing the same way. The square was a red w/white polka dots. I pulled that color from the dog print - collars and ribbons on dogs. BQ5 uses a 9-1/2" square and the border around the block creates a star. I believe that BQ1 also had the option of making an 18" block.
