    I almost thought that was feedsack in the beginning. But, see that it isn't. D9P would be one. Or you could make kitties in the window by cutting and sashing. Its beautiful fabric and what ever you do with it, I'm sure will work. Be sure and let us see the results.

    Cute cat fabric. I would just treat it as a panel. So many colors to pick from for making borders if you need to make the quilt a little larger.

    That is darling fabric! Those dotted lines were also printed to use to outline or emphasize with hand embroidery stitches. I remember my grandmother had some similar items that were of the same vintage (40's) that were used as dresser runners, etc.

    Too cute to cut. I would use it as a back. (double sided quilt) I would quilt rather than tie and use a design and thread that would compliment the beautiful fabric.

    I would make a center panel of say, 35x50. Use the rest of the fabric along with white fabric to make Disappearing 4Patch blocks to go all around the center panel. Any fabric that's left would go on the back. Darling fabric. Whatever you do, please share pictures.

    I'm liking this idea

    I would hand quilt along the quilting lines. Use what is already there.
