My panda fabric came. And now I'm trying to decide what to do with it without cutting it much. I'm thinking of a wall hanging of some kind, yes, just for me :-).

Soooo I came here once again for some brainstorming on quilts that use big pieces of this fabric.

So, so cute and great at emulating the zoo pandas. I want to see it in a quilt.

Ideas?

The fabric:

Cute fabric! Perhaps do an easy pattern that uses this fabric in big pieces to show off the bears. Maybe find some fabric with bamboo too. I'd stick with black & white, green, and little bits of pink if needed. (Pink is in the flowers).

Tartan

Use it as the focus fabric in Warm wishes or similar. Use cream/black or green for the strip blocks.

Just frame it with borders.

I had to laugh when you said bamboo. I was looking for greens for this quilt and saw one that looked very much like bamboo. When I zoomed in, I realized that it was.....cannibus! 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.

That's what I have done when I want to keep the piece of fabric like a panel.

BTW, the repeat is 12" high by 24" wide. I love the big piece idea, but wonder if it would get too repetitive with the fairly small repeat..

Maybe I shouldn't have gotten 2 yards. A 12" x 24" piece as table runner with some blocks around would be nice ;-).

Keep the ideas coming, please. Thank you.
