While I suggested the attic windows before, the more I looked at it and thought about it, I got cold feet on that!!

There's enough going on in the fabric, that I'm not sure I'd want to put much with it, re colour or block design. To me, they'd end up competing and I'd never be happy. So .... Keep It Real Simple!

One idea ..... a large centre of the print, then a dark navy or black border, 1-1/2" or so ..... and a strip of the print ... another dark border, a little wider than the 1st one .... and then a 6-8" border of the print. I might even go with a 3rd black border (again, not overly wide as a final border and skip the print border.

I’m wondering if it would make up nicely in a kaleidoscope quilt. I like the fabric. Lots of variety!

Whatever you decide Watson keep us posted. I really want to see you something with that gorgeous fabric!

What a beautiful piece of fabric! I don't have ideas but it sure is pretty.

Ok. I just spied the quilt that had beautiful fabric on the back. You can put your beautiful fabric on the back of a quilt that you know you won't give away!

A four patch posy/kaleidoscope would be lovely.

one can use a hinged mirror to audition how a fabric would look kaleidoscoped.

I love this fabric but I'm not sure that it isn't so busy it wouldn't actually reveal itself well in a kaleidoscope block. There is a website somewhere that you can put your fabric picture into and then generate images of potential blocks. If I can find it, I will post it to this thread.

Here's the link to the one block wonder design helper. I played it with it yesterday and thought it look quite good with this fabric, but I did have to guess on the width of the fabric in the photo.

This is what I did with some floral fabric that was too beautiful to cut. It's called View from the Cabin. I liked it because it combined a traditional log cabin with a modern look.
