That's all I can think of to do with it. BTW it's an Alexander Henry.

A simple way to determine if to do a stack n whack or one block wonder: stack n whack- count vertically how many birds and measure the distance between them, 13 1/2 inches. Your need 8 repeats. For one block wonder, you need 6 repeats. What will the motifs look like? Fold the fabric as if on the bolt, then fold a corner into a triangle. This gives a good idea of what your repeats will look like. Obtaining Bethany Reynolds book, is good advice. Please post a picture when you have cut/ or sewn the motifs.
