    Maybe a BQ pattern from Maple Island? It has large squares that would not lose the large print.

    I would get a wall hanging pattern and a large piece of this as a center medallion. I would make a table topper to match. You also have enough to use as the top half of pillowcases. Use the fabric and enjoy it.

    I think that is an excellent suggestion. I would border it with some of the purple seen in the "crowns".

    Love the fabric!!! I would do a lot of fussy cutting to bring out all the great things on it. With all the colors in the fabric there are lots of fabrics to put with it.

    Beautiful fabric. I agree with feline fanatic about the braid quilt. After you look at the quilt she is talking about and then the fabric you have, it would be one way to allow every one to get the full effect of the fabric.

    This might sound a little crazy but how about using it in some type of broderie perse fashion. Maybe some log cabin like image of pyramids with fussy cut images dispersed over it? (My friends say I'm weird with my ideas!)

    That fabric is awesome! Sorry, but I have no suggestions for you. I know frame it or wrap it on painter's board and enjoy the display.

    Don I love the fabric ... I have done this very simple pattern called sidelights here is the web site with a pic of the pattern .. this would be fast and simple and gorgeous!! You might even be able to make two using fabrics that coordinate with it.. in the small squares and the borders..

    I agree a Stack n Whack would be a good chose for a pattern. There are so many to choose from. The four patch, fans. 60 degree triangle, etc.,etc. You'll need to choose pattern to go with the amount of fabric you have.
