I struggled a lot with a pattern because I wanted to preserve the bears - didn't want to cut the up. I ended up used a Moda Bake Shop pattern - baby lattice quilt - http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/10/...uilt.html#more - for the "girly" fabrics, and am saving the "boy" fabrics for another quilt someday. Have fun!

Oh cute!!! This is for me so I plan to use as much of the cake as I can. I bought the extra bear yardage for the binding. I did plan to use the white for border, sashing or as a buffer of all the colors in the block.

Thanks!
Here is my fabric:
The yellow will be the backing.

With D9P, you could adjust your block sizes to see more of the print ... or could fussy cut the specific pictures in the print.
If doing the D9P, you might want to use the yellow on the front ... or other contrasting colours for the stripped pieces and smaller squares that will be formed when you cut it up.
And too, there are LOTS of other patterns to consider to show off this lovely print.
The first I think about would be a snowball pattern or variation of it.

Ok, love the snowball pattern too. Now to chose! I think ya'll made it worse. lol
Question, the snowball pattern tutorial I found used a 8" square and 4 - 2 3/4" squares. If I want to keep the layer cake as (less cutting), would I just add 2" to the smaller squares?
