    If you make the quilt center square, and make the borders non directional and keeping it square, it could be turned any which way :D:D:D

    Love the fabric, I would hate to see you cut it up. Would definitely just add some kind of border and leave it at that.

    I looked on the timeless treasures website lots of wonderful free patterns for their collections, I didn't see this one off hand but maybe if you spend a little time on the sits and know the name of the specific print you can find a pattern.

    I would leave the fabric together & have brown & navy borders. One navy top & side & the same for the brown border

    I like the idea of keeping it all in one piece and putting borders around it and then maybe quilt around some if not all of the animals. That would make the animals stand out more. It is beautiful fabric!

    I would have a hard time cutting that up. It would look wonderful as a center panel with borders.

    Thank you all for your wonderful ideas. Now I just have to decide on what to do. Have some thinking to do. Again, thank you. I have learned so much from this site since joining in September.

    This would make a great backing. You might want to fussy cut one of each of the animals to use as corner stones in the quilt top to tie it all together. You have lots of options. Don't forget the pictures when you're done.

    That is a great idea too. When I get it done I will post pictures. Hopefully will get it done before Christmas.
