I agree with you! Use it as a panel and enjoy it :thumbup:

Anyhow, he brought, a book(of eygpt), and 8 yrds, of eygpt print material. He gave me 2 yards of that print. The question I have for any & everyone is, what can I do with it. I hate to cut it up. I thought, of cutting it in 1/2, and sew the 2 peices together

You can't be cutting that up! No way, too neat as it is.

What about a bit of embellishment for a wall hanging. Add some metallic gold things----------maybe a small pyramid, piece of head gear, columns.

Oh, maybe take a part some old jewelry and attach some how.

you can send it to me, if you don't know what to do with it.

if you decide, you don't want to send it to me.,,,,,, under no circumstances , do not, do not cut it.

I love it...I think I would use it as a backing on a quilt with the same colors!

I agree with quilting Cowgirl, very pretty material. ;-)

It is truly pretty & colorful!! I wouldn't want to cut it up either. Try to use it so the theme is shown.
