One might use it as the backing with the red and a tan made in 9 patch on the front. Love the fabrics.

I like this idea a lot!

Exactly what I was thinking! My next thought was to make a
'checkerboard' quilt. Easy and fun.

I like the idea of adding black and make a shadow box quilt with the owls as focus and red the background.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I have no stash to pull from, and no extra money to get additional fabric.

I THINK she bought 1 yard of each fabric. She told me when she dropped it off that she wanted me to make a BIG baby quilt with the fabric.

I agree with the others, don't cut the owl fabric. You need to talk to your friend and tell her that if she wants a "big" baby quilt, then she needs to come up with the additional fabric/s.

I was thinking window panes like you're looking out a window into a forest full of owls. Cute fabric but hard to come up with ideas for it. If you cut it too small you lose what makes it fun.

I forgot to add: It was a nice thought on your friend's part. 3 yards of fabric looks like a lot until you actually try to do something with it. Then it gets small in a hurry.
Do you have anything in your stash that might help? Maybe you can fussy cut the owls and do something with them.

This site has patters for three yard quilts. I would also look at the ideas on Quilts for Kids.
