Are you sure this is quilt fabric? It says it's metallic and good for dance costumes. Sometimes fabric like that is thin and somewhat stiff. It's beautiful, certainly, but I'm wondering, looking at the listing. You might be better off using the pattern suggestions here with another fabric.

There are many patterns out there to make the butterfly's on front and use the fabric for the back. I also used the fabric in between the butterfly's.

MSQC has a new tutorial on the hour glass quilhat would be very pretty with it. Nancy Zeiman also has a few tutorials for "Big Block quilts" that would be wonderful with a larger print.

Thanks for the great feedback! Already have 1.5 yards of fabric so not buying it off Ebay, just wanted to show the fabric in question but thanks to those for pointing out what I might have missed.
What size do you consider a lap quilt? 50 x 60? Something else?
