Maple Island quilts has a pattern by Debbie Bowles called BQ that is perfect for fabric that you don't want to cut up. The blocks are 18" and the quilt can be made in several different sizes. It also stitches up quickly and would look fantastic in your fabric.

I think it'd be fun to fussy cut a bear & do red & white checks with some fun quilting for a cute Valentine's wall hanging. :)

Love it

I have seen some awful cute quilts on here that they used fabric such as this for a focus block and then used a block made from three different colors next, alternating until the size desired. Kinda like a rail fence separated by focus blocks. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will turn out perfect.

Oh so many ideas for this fabric! Problem is trying to choose one! You could fussy cut for squares, or cut around the bears for applique onto squares, cut some and leave part for a central panel; cut some bears out and trace around on a backing fabric, sew and stuff for little pillows.
