These would be pretty as sashing of varying widths around a central motif of a Christmas scene or some typle of Christmas picture. Hancocks at Paducah has all sorts of them. The would be stunning as lap quilts for Christmas gifts.
A little fabric goes a long way for those.

I did a hanging of Christmas ornaments using multiple fabrics and it turned out quite pleasant.....just a thought.......

I've made a couple French Braids...they are gorgeous. You would need to add some extra fabrics - small prints and/or textured solids in red, green, gold, cream. You wouldn't need much, and perhaps have enough in your stash. Be sure to let us know what you decide - and SHOW us!

P.S. If you haven't done a French Braid, don't hesitate....not really that difficult at all. :)

I have to agree with everybody else... that fabric is gorgeous! I don't have any suggestions for a pattern tho! lol

beautiful fabric, it looks a lot like the fabric that Fone and Porter had on this saturdays ,pbs program, they made a
table topper,they fussy cut and used log cabin for the topper, it is on their web site under program 1600,it sure made
a fabulous christmas table topper. If I remember it was from the nov-dec. 2010 book,

How about good old "Turning Twenty", big blocks that would show off those beautiful fabrics. Easy, quick, could be really beautiful.

What about Cheaper by the Dozen by Atkinson Designs. It uses 12 fat quarters, has 2 borders and the backing. Your squares are 8 x 5 1/2. That way you get to see much more of the entire fabric. Good luck!

An Irish chain could work depending on how big you want your quilt.
