The design looks a lot like a Ricky Tims Rhapsody design. Just add borders and have someone quilt it with beautiful varigated threads to complement the design.

Looks like it was meant to be a pillow, but it would make a nice quilt too. Don't cut it up, just add to it & happy quilting!!

Reminds me of a quilting feather circle. Would be very pretty as the center block of a quilt with matching fabrics around it. I really like it. I would probably have to keep it with me to take to a fabric store and get some ideas of what fabrics would match & look best with it.

Hi wildyard, I think it would make a great quilt with added borders. Use high loft batting and quilt around the designs! Would be gorgeous. OR you could sell it on ebay and buy what you like instead :)

I think it would make a great center for a quilt backing. You could the design to quilt from the back of a quilt. With the right top it would be fantastic.
