I agree with grammyp. I would go that route. I wouldn't want to cut up the polar bears. They might try to fight back!

Wallhanging or fussy cut quilt with the bears having pride of place. Highlight with the other two fabrics and frame or sash in rich browns and dark golds like the tree bark and grasses in fabrics one and two.
It's beautiful fabric. Great find. Happy quilting!

Beautiful fabric. I'd definitely do the wall hanging and showcase the bears.

There's also a BQ2 for large scale prints. Warm Wishes also is a good one and you'll probably be able to adjust either pattern for the size of the bears, so they don't get chopped off.

Beautiful bears! You could do the bears in the center of a throw, adding some darker colors (browns) and make some borders around it. A wall hanging would be great too!

I definitely agree, don't cut up the bears! Use it as the center. I would put three borders of different widths starting narrow in the middle and going wider for the next and even wider on the other. I hope you will post a pic when it is done. I love the fabric.

I would fussy cut the Bears into squares. Use the brush fabric and sky fabric for background and backing. Use Brown rusts and blacks and it will be a beautiful man quilt.
