    I have had fabric I had a hard time cutting into, so I understand where you're coming from. BUT . . . we are quilters and the whole basis of our craft is to take large pieces of fabric, cut them into small pieces of fabric, and then sew them back into a large piece of fabric again. :mrgreen: I would suck it up, cut it up, and make a large block quilt out of this lovely fabric. In the end, (and this is only my opinion) I think you'll be much happier seeing it in a quilt than folded on your shelf. :D

    To me, it appears to have a connection to Golden Books. There is a nice line of Golden Books fabric out now and you may find some that would coordinate nicely with yours.

    Here is a quilt that I made for my granddaughter from fabric that I hated to cut up also. I made it into large blocks of fabric with black sashing. It might give you an idea of what to do with it.
