    I split my fabrics up for fussy cuts. There are some great things ready to be done with this !

    Part of a lap quilt, part of a table sash thing ( help, parkenson's moment).. part of a vest..

    Nice idea to just pick up and save for the Just right moment idea ! That is why we all need to get our fabric under control !! :lol:

    Great fabric pick.

    I just finished a wall hanging with cardinals in the center of each block. My fabric was different & I had to 'fussy cut' out the birds. Each block is bordered by 3 1" strips of red & green with 9 patch at the corner of each. It turned out really well. Hope you understand what I mean. I haven't quilted it yet but if I think of it later today maybe I can post you a picture. I really like your fabric - wish I could have found that myself!!

    Are those lines I see in the picture just creases?

    I think I would try to keep as much of it intact as possible. Very pretty fabric.

    Hi , I donīt think I would cut it, its too pretty. My idea for what it is worth, add some really pretty borders and then quilt it , it will look great if you quilt round the birds and flowers and make them pop.

    I can't tell what size the squares are, but I'd consider a project with attic windows.

    i think I would leave it as is, put a small border on it, sandwich it and quilt it for a wall hanging! It really is too pretty to cut up!

    Too pretty to cut, is my opinion. I would, as others have suggested, use it as a center and add borders to it and then quilt. It is going to be gorgeous!
