    If you wanted to do the attic windows, here are some links to do it without the dreaded Y seam: http://www.straw.com/equilters/libra...ticwindow.html

    Give them to me! I love that farm scene! I would make a. 3 yard pattern called Strip Tease. By Heirloom Elegance.

    How about a pineapple block with the house centre and trees and other material in the other places. Would need to think more.

    I think the Warm Wishes pattern with the scene as the focus fabric would be pretty. You don't have to make a whole quilt but it would make a nice table runner or bed runner.

    Look at post #8 for a beautiful shadow box quilt on this thread:

    Your focus fabric is beautiful, and the shadow box would really set it off nicely.

    Any of the BQ patterns from Maple Island Quilts would work well to showcase your fabric. Here is a quilt made using (I think) BQ2. You could fussy cut various scenes from your fabric.

    I like the print fabric enough, that I just could not cut it up.
    I would use it for the centre of the quilt ... and when quilting time came, I would quilt around the outlines as much or as little as I chose.

    I would use the red and black for the borders. Either simple borders of the fabric ... Or perhaps find some block patterns to put at the corners, or all the way around. There are a lot of block patterns that require only two fabrics and could still nicely frame the print up, without taking away from the look while creating a border.
