I totally agree with fussy cutting large print ...Four or Nine patch fussy cut would be very nice.

How about doing a stack and whack? Bet this would make for some beautiful kalideascopes.

Would you consider a quilt by Modern Quilt Relish? I did one (see below) and it was so much fun. Your fabric may work. The one I did is called TV Dinner. http://modernquiltrelish.blogspot.ca...tern-shop.html

This is just too pretty to cut up. Why not quilt the entire piece as a lap quilt and add a border?

I would say fussy cut it or make a one block wonder from it. Love all the bright colors!

I used a large print for a pattern called "walk about" It is perfect. The squares are 10 1/2" which allows you to showcase a large print. Here's a link: http://www.ilovesewingonline.com/sho...sku-104816.htm

Don't cut it, just quilt it.

It is a shame to cut into the design. Hope you get great suggestions.

There are several books out on the market. I think one is called "I just Can't cut it" or something similar. Just do a search on the internet for ideas. In fact, Asian Fabrics magazine just posted one online.

Wow, that quilt is so strikingly beautiful! Love it. Another pattern for my 'to-do' list...
