Could do a stack n whack -- if you do the "Rib-bon Weave" it would take 3 1/4 yards, and you would get enough to make two very nice and different 60 x 72" quilts including the outer borders (I'm pretty sure on the borders!).

I think It could pass as a mothers day fabric ..

OBW or similar pattern. It would look pretty for the focus block of Warm Wishes also.

How much do you have? Enough for a Stack & Whack? If not, I think "Warm Wishes" would be good, too. Or "Snowballs". I don't think it looks seasonal at all. I love it, tho. What brand is it?

Tough question!!! It is very pretty fabric. It doesn't look seasonal to me. I have a book intitled, Just Can't Cut it. It has a lot of neat ideas to use fabric that is just too pretty to cut. You might check it out to get some ideas.

I have that book, too... I'd forgotten all about that. It would be a great idea for this fabric. There are enough colors to pull to use in the alternate blocks... perfect!!!

Ditto. I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't think "seasonal" when I examine the design. Personally I find it most unappealing. To me it looks very cluttered and the elements within the design don't seem to work well (and I am a fan of crazy quilts and scrappies:)).

I think it would depend on how much of the beautiful fabric you have. It would really make a beautiful 4 patch posie. I also like the idea of using the whole piece and adding borders to it. Maybe google patterns for large print fabrics.

I would send it to me.

This fabric is crying to be OBW!

I love it as it is. I wouldn't cut it up but use it with a border
