I was also thinking "Warm Wishes". It is cute fabric. I would have a hard time cutting it too!

I think I would fussy cut to show the best areas.

I think they would make a great chevron quilt.

I don't think that problem is uncommon, I have loads of fabrics that I can't cut into.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I'm going to check out all the pattern ideas after I take DS to school. The only one I definitely won't be doing is a chevron. I agree that I think the fabrics would look great in it, but I recently did a chevron quilt and thought I was going to lose my mind! Thanks again for the great ideas!

You might consider using it in some patchwork blocks like sq in a sq, even a 9 patch or a bowtie. The different fabrics in pinwheels would be pretty and allude to movement and then for sure the bicycle print in a border. So dern cute!

Auntpiggylpn,
Love your quilt - just don't want to spend $8.00 for the pattern

Here's what I did with fabric to cute to cut up. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the pattern.

I've been dying to try one of these patterns from "Living Large" or "Living Large 2". Great for for those fabrics we can't bring ourselves to cut up!

Disappearing 9-patch and fussy-cuts. When the right pattern comes along, all fabric is cuttable.
