Use them in any pattern that has a block size that matches the birds or you like the way it looks.

Open your mind to try a new idea you have yet to try!

I agree with the attic windows idea--would make a lovely quilt.

My daughter bought some of these prints from ebay and gave them to me. I sashed them & put together a twin size quilt. I like quilts to use like bed spreads, so I sewed multi color strips for the sides & bottom to make it bigger.

Great find and would look great in any block with a center ie ohio star, log cabin, and so many others. Great idea already posted. Love to see what you do with them.

An attic window block would work well and showcase the centers.

They would be pretty as the large centers of log cabin blocks made into a quilt. Tartan plaids might be nice for the logs.

I'd do the log cabin - even if you only used just a few "logs" for building the borders. That way you could vary the strips' colors to highlight or complement the center's key colors while still maintaining the overall pattern effect of the log cabin.
