    I wouldn't cut it. I'd add borders to it to get the size you want. I think if you cut it, it'd ruin the integrity of the piece and the gorgeous pattern.

    Personally, I'd want to show it off as much as I could!

    Use individual motifs for applique.

    I think there would be too much waste if you fussy cut it. Either use it horizontally and build up the top and bottom with lots of different designs such as flying geese on top/bottom, then a layer of HST's and built it until you like the size of the quilt to add borders all around. Or put it away until inspiration strikes you:-)

    Can you make a few panels out of it then choose bright colors for borders around the panels? You could also cut out individually and put borders to make them into squares. You could also make a panel with borders as a wall piece. I hope you show pictures when you complete your project.

    Happy "Sewing"!!!

    How about fussy cutting and then use an alternate block with coordinating colors. You could use a pinwheel or snoball block or something like that. It is very cute fabric, I agree with others don't get in a hurry.
