I love these old souvenir tea towels. Yours is very nice and a wall hanging sounds perfect. I have a lovely old piece from New Orleans in the 50's and now I know what I'm going to do with it

Don't you just love these old graphics on these tea towels? I do too.

If you wanted to keep it whole and original, you could purchase a poster frrame and display it in that. Or ... Like everyone say's it would be very nice as a quilted piece whole.

I have been to nassau. What a beautiful place to vacation.

Nope I wouldn't cut it. I think I'd leave it as is.

If you like the prints for a bag, just scan and print the parts you like on fabric, and make you bag from the printed fabric. Then like the others said, make a quilt/wallhanging out of the original. The original looks bigger and you would lose a lot in making the bag.

I certainly would not cut it up. It is too nice to start cutting into it. So I'd make it into an item that appeals to you so you can enjoy it. Good luck.

I would be afraid that the fabric wouldn't be very strong for a bag. I agree that making it into a wall hanging or lap robe would be best.

I would just border and quilt it, it's too pretty and unique to cut up

If you have only one I would do like what the others have said. If you have a lot of them put them together as a quilt top.

Looks neat - sort of retro! I would think a bag would be fun. Love the background too of your pic - since I am in a cold climate w/just a little bit of snow left, I had to look at the green.

We leave for Key West on the 13th for spring break - woo hoo!!!!
