A stack and whack with kaleidoscope or star blocks - see Linda Rotz Miller's website for some ideas of layouts. I'm a great fan of her quilts.

Don, I'd do a whole cloth quilt and quilt around the pictures. I'd
use a solid complementary color on the back and thread matching the backing. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

You've already gotten great suggestions. I would also either use it on the back or cut it in large pieces. If cutting it into large pieces I would also add blue, green and the pretty purplish/pinkish color around the large pieces if you go this way. Whatever you do share a picture when it's finished. :-P

Is the repeat good enough for a OBW (OneBlockWonder)?

It would be an Egyptian mystery-insid-joke-quilt ....

It would look nothing like the original print, but you "in-guys" would know

Cool and very unique fabric!

I would not fussy cut, it takes to much away from the whole picture. I would not use as a panel, its to busy. I have fabric this type, but it has campers all over and fealt the same as you, omg cant cut this ! The pattern I used was big blocks, 9 in squares with the main fabric and contrasting fabric triangles for the other squares.It came out beautiful,very happy with the result and nothing was taken away from the artwork. You have a lot of beautiful colors for contrast on this fabric.But, this is what I would do with this fabric. Good luck, oh and it was a king size quilt and I tied it. I cant wait to see what you are going to do with yours.

That is so beautiful - have never seen anthing like it. I would not be able to cut it up either.

Beautiful fabric. I think I would treat it as a panel and work form there. Too pretty to chop up

Attic Windows. Great idea!
