Keep the ideas coming, please. Thank you.

Oh I didn't know you had repeats. I would do a one block wonder w/ one whole repeat used as a panel like this http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...eo0&ajaxhist=0 I've seen better versions but this is what I found for now

Just a week or so ago I saw some really cool ideas of what I was talking about, but for the life of me I can't figure out what to type in the search to find them again.

I would love to see them. I searched for some and couldn't find them. I fear, though, that I don't have enough fabric for repeats AND a panel. I have exactly 6 repeats along the 2 yards of fabric....so it would get tricky. Of course, I could buy more fabric, LOOOOOL.

That was my first thought because I have been searching for a pattern so I don't have to cut my pretty fabric of sea creatures very much.

Maybe you can incorporate this panda block into the design somehow: http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/2015/06/sew-solid-featuring-pandamonium-quilt.html

Keep on laughing but it isn't cannabis. It's bamboo Do you really think they would do a print fabric with cannabis and panda bears? BAmboo leaves have smooth edges. cannabis has jagged/serrated edges.

Timeless Treasures actually produced such a fabric. It's certainly a different era. It's too bad that it wasn't bamboo because it was a perfect color, but I don't think I want to hang a quilt with cannibus on my wall...even though I live in Washington where the drug is legal. But I laughed and laughed.
