I would cut the block apart. put borders around the largest one log cabin style then put as many log cabin rounds as necessary on the others to make them the same size. It would make a very masculine quilt.

(The fabric is Timeless Treasurers and I got it from Joanns.)
I vote for keeping the Timeless Treasures all together and adding the borders around it. It's beautiful fabric and I can hardly wait to see the finished project.

Keep the fabric whole and put a border of pieced blocks around it. I did that with some space fabric I didn't want to cut up. Used the free form star blocks for the border. Here is a picture of what I did.

My friend bought a fabric similar to this one and we cut out the individual blocks and centered them on a solid color background fabric that matched the Panel pieces and appliqued the on with the machine. Then we put different color solid blocks inbetween them. We used the teacup and tulip pattern for a border made from those colors. It really turned out nice. Also, put a panel of a larger deer in the center of the quilt. Whatever you decide to do, I'm anxious to see the results.

I would use the whole piece. Then add a solid border perhaps 3" wide maybe a warm brown (could even have a very small muted print). The add a "Deer Print" border of about 5" wide and another of the 1st border that was 3". That was just my suggestion, however there have been many good ones before mine.
