    I would take the time to cut the ladies into groups of 3 (as they are printed), with an equal amount of the wavy lines on top as the border on the bottom. This way you have a border on each block with a little bit wavy lines going up and down and the other wavy lines going side to side. You can use the wavy lined fabric with the blue wavy's in it cut into blocks going side to side in one and up and down in an other. Then use the one yard as smaller blocks with fill in colors from your stash and as a border. Good luck - the fabric is great. You will have so much fun.

    When I saw your fabric my thoughts were .... wouldn't that make a great tote. If you make a bag you can show off your fabric every time you go out. And with the leftover fabric make a sunglasses case, a make-up bag, a tissue holder, and purse organizer. It is a fun piece of fabric!

    I had this print 2yrs ago. I made a beautiful wall hanging out of it. I gave the ladies real jewelry to wear. Made it really fun.

    It would make a pretty and bright sewing machine cover, and might inspire you to re-decorate your sewing area.

    I also love the idea of a tote with all the ladies dancing around the outside and the coordinating fabric lining the interior.

    I think it would make a great bag or even a unique pillow/pillowcase.

    Thanks for all the suggestions I loved them all.

    I went back to Wooden Spools today in the hopes they
    had more of the border fabric. Sadly they didn't, but I
    did manage to buy the last 1 yard of the coordinating
    fabric (photo #3 orange, green & yellow).

    I know exactly what I am going with it now, but I won't
    disclose that just yet.
