Sorry this pic is so big. Have 2 yards. Want to make a quilt for teenaged boy. Really don't want to fussy cut. Found this in my stash when I was organizing. Can't wait for your suggestions.

That's a hard one. Since it has gaps, how about a backing?

How about using it as a panel and simply bordering it out to the size you need for his bed? I recently did that with some Harry Potter yardage and was quite pleased with the finished product.

Using it for a backing is a good idea to me.

Fun Fabric! I would use it as a panel as mentioned above. My choice is always to keep the big designs in fabric and not cut them up. No matter how you slice it, it's still pizza! Yummy! It's going to be great project!

I suggest using it as a panel also, if it's too long you can cut some off and use it as an accent strip on the back.

If you have some coordinating fabrics, Villa Rosa has a pattern called Honor which would look good.

Cute fabric and it really does speak teenage kiddo but I have no idea of how to use it. There are a lot of patterns out there that uses large pieces with coordinating fabrics. I am sure you will get many ideas from wonderful people on this board. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Panel is a great idea and with some kind of a green border, maybe 3 different borders. Green, brown and green again.
