What could I make from it? The piece is 42" long by 12" wide. I've had it in my stash forever so any and all suggestions would be welcome. I've been going through my stash and cutting 10" squares for a scrap quilt backing, and have been unmerciful in my choices. Half yard or less, it gets whacked!! When I came to this piece I didn't hesitate to throw it on the pile, but after I ironed it I questioned myself. Then I thought...I'll go to the Board...they will give me the greatest advice! So, here I am waiting for your answers...thanks!

I would use the whole piece as a quilt back...framed, stripped, whatever. Too nice a pattern to whack apart. You'll lose the motifs.

I was thinking tablerunner since the piece is so long...just add a couple of borders...

You could make four 10 x 12" placemats for a gift or for the picnic table. Cute fabric BTW

Either the 10 minute table topper, or fussy cut some of the bird houses and birds and make some snow globes for a wall hanging or table topper.

I'd put a border around it and use it for a table topper or to put on the back of a sofa. Whatever you choose, I love the fabric. :)

I was thinking, fussy cut the bird houses into same size squares and match them up with either rail fence blocks or even solid color blocks.

I'm thinking...fussy cut the birdhouse blocks and sash with flying geese for a lap quilt?
