I purchased this fabric not knowing that it has been discontinued. So I am stuck with just one yard!! I really love the fabric, but need some ideas on how to in corporate it into a quilt. Any ideas?? My daughter is telling me not to cut it and just use it as a panel, but I have no idea what to do with it?? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. The fabric was purchased for my daughter-in law in appreciation for giving me my first grandchild!! Or....if anyone has any of the fabric they are willing to sell I would be interested.

I'd also leave it as a panel and add a couple of borders on it! It's BEAUTIFUL fabric! Sorry I don't have any, but you might luck out with someone on this board having it in their stash!

If you don't want to cut it up, you can make a wall hanging. Or cut it it into large squares and add solid colors for a lap size quilt.
It's really a beautiful print!

I think that would make a beautiful wall hanging. just put a pretty border on it and quilt it.I do painting and I'm going to keep a picture of this fabric so I can paint it. it's just beautiful and would be a shame to cut it up.let us know what you decide Mary

I would add borders to it. Take the panel with you to the fabric store and match up some nice fabric that will make the panel stand out or "pop" as we call it. You'll love it and if you don't you can always PM me for my addy and send it to me.......it is so lovely! Actually, I would match it up with some batiks or blenders......maybe a narrow flange, then a narrow border to frame it, then a wider border, then another border to finish it off that has a nice basket block as corner stones.........just a thought.

Maybe you could fussy cut the flower and put it in a center square block, or cut the flower out and use fusible web and make a flower arrangement using other flower fabric in a vase or basket.

I have found with the right amount of searching, you can find ALMOST any discontinued fabric online somewhere.

If you have the name/brand, anything, I'd be happy to do a search for you. It's what I do for a living, so I've got pretty good at it, LOL!

I would use it in a pattern that has blocks with a larger center. The quilt pictured on the cover of this book comes to mind.

P.S. This book is among the ones I have up for sale as I'm trying to downsize my stash of quilt books.

I would just use it as a center and pput some borders on it. I seem to do more of that now because the fabrics are so interesting.

I really like it! I would add borders too!

There is a book or maybe it was just a pattern called, "Just Can't Cut It" that gives great ideas for those wonderful fabrics we are afraid to cut into. It uses large blocks of the beautiful fabric and then mixes smaller pieces of it in with a solid coordinating color to make the big blocks pop.

There is a quilting book titled "Too Pretty to Cut" and gives lots of patterns for materials that are just too pretty to cut. You may want to look at that, or cut big squares and put nine-patch squars of matiching fabric between them. Then add borders and you are done! Very lovely fabric!

I'm with above, border w/light shade then could do coordinating blocks around if you wanted it bigger, boarder again, thats a Beautiful panel. Good Luck !! :)
