    I just love that fabric, It would be hard for me to cut into it.

    I have seen panels surrounded my blocks ,made the panel pop. It is a beautiful piece. Show pics when you decide.

    I had a similar problem with some fabric that I just hated to cut up. Looked for a long time to find the perfect pattern. It was very easy to sew and highlights the beauty of large patterns. I know it's a Moda patten but cannot find the name right now. Let me know if interested and I'll send you info.
    You could use the 1st fabric in the large piece and at least one of the others as the bands...it almost looks like ribbons. The other fabrics could be used on the back and binding. HTH

    This is so beautiful...I wouldn't cut the large print at all, but use it as a backing, or the top, backed with pieced fabric.

    The blocks you made up are fabulous. Sort of a four-patch kaleilodoscope. Really nice!

    Well you've been brave now and have cut it up. Well done. My suggestion was to go onto the Robert Kaufman web site - there's loads of patterns there using the fabric ranges. Be warned - you may be some time there!!

    I would definitely cut the large medallion and then do pieced blocks with it. How gorgeous will it be when it is quilted around the design.

    I throughorly (sp) understand your problem as I have a fabric giving me concern. Not going to cut until I'm very very sure of what I want to do.

    I am pretty sure that top fabric is the one I was drooling on a few months ago at the LQS. I talked myself out of buying it. I am trying to use up my stash this year. Still kicking myself for that decision. It is of course gone now. I was going to make either a stack and whack or a one block wonder out of it. WOuld love to see the finished project.
