Personally I prefer the one with the cowboys...lol

I would use either all of it or at least a big chunk as a center panel, with coordinating borders around it. You could make some of those borders pieced, using recognizable bits of the focus fabric if you decide to use only part of it in the center.
Or a pillowcase would be a lovely use, as that fabric does have a smooth, silky hand and would be pleasant to sleep on.
All depends on final use desired and how much you like the print.

use the pattern just can't cut it... I have made several quilts using this pattern.. it's great because you cut the main fabric 12 1/2 . Best of all it's quick and very easy. I used the biker chicks Alexander Henry fabric I love it...I love all his fabric I have a whole collection of them, I even have that one...
here's one place where you can find it. If you want to see my quilts let me know
