I agree here, keep it whole, quilt around the large bears. Not sure the size of the piece you have, so add borders to get the size quilt you want. Very cute print, hope to see how you decide to make it.

Great idea to put the topic out there. So many cretive suggestions. I have none at the moment, but just LOVE bears and the fabric is precious. Be sure to let us know what you decide.

It was a great way to use most of the original fabric and very nice when done. Hers were loony toon characters. If you wanted to keep it simpler just add sashing around each one.
I was thinking close to this idea. It looks like the bears are repeated in a vertical strip, so you could cut them out in strips or apart altogether. Then put together with other strips in between, you could build a neat pieced top. Good Luck with whatever you decide. Show us a picture when you get done.

Do you have a big girl and a little girl? How about making blocks with the big bears for the big girl and blocks with little bear for the little girl?

I think pillowcases would be really cute with that. Add 2 different colors for the cuff and little strip in between, and they would be super cute!

Cute fabric and you have rec'd lots of good ideas. Have fun.

use it as the backing and trace around the bears for an allover quilt pattern
Any simple block on the front (9 patch and whole alternated) in the colors of the backing would be very cute.
