I would never cut into this piece of fabric. The only way I would use it would be for a pillow, pillow case or the center of a quilt with some other design (square or triangles around it) then choose a quilting design from the fabric. I have a piece of fabric with cute designs and I will never cut it up. It is beautiful as is, just needs embellishments.

It is totally adorable!!! Think I'd do what someone already suggested which is to use it like a cheater panel and just add whatever you want around the outside. I'd have a tough time cutting into it!

I think the fussy cut and then machine applique to a block. You might need some alternative blocks to make a throw size out of it!! Be sure and share pictures when you are done :D

How about using it as the center and working around with other fabrics and making a cute apron to hang and look at in your kitchen?

Fussy cut and do a medallion quilt. That's what they used to do in the olden times. Put it in the center and showcase it.

I would use it as a center block/rectangle in the center and then add either strips or blocks to make it a childs quilt. You could use the colors in the fabric for your blocks/strips.

Lovely fabric.

Ditto!!! It would look great as the center with borders all around

I would use it as a panel which you can make blocks all around it. Too pretty to cut up.

If you have a place for it, you could mat and frame it.
