    It might look lovely in a triangle frenzy.

    I'm toying with the idea on my computer of doing something like this as one block, then alternating it with another block … not sure what … ideas? Also not sure about the blue but my couch that it will be laying on is a deep blue color.

    Or maybe something like this stripe but with a different stripe in between the focus fabric … like pinwheels or little twister ...

    That is gorgeous fabric... I like all things Jason Yenter! The fabric has 4 rows of the border running the length of the bolt. I can’t wait to see what you do with this!
    Here is a quilt using the fabric....

    It is wonderful fabric. I would pick it up (3 yards is my preferred amount of border fabrics) and once I had it I would be better able to decide how to showcase it best. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    I love the fabric. I don't have a suggestion of what to make from it. I have a gift card to Nancy's Notions that I won and keep forgetting to spend. I might need the purple.

    You could make a window with it, or an arched bay window. It could be the garden outside. Or if you are into making valances, I would make valances for a kitchen, bath or inside porch. And pillows, that would be great.

    I am almost ready to put this together. I have created a wedge and now considering if I should included the dragonflies, which are just paper cutouts at the moment. I am going to do several layers across of gradually lighter grays. I still have 3 more panels, and might do something completely different, but this is what I have so far.

    Finally finished. I used a "chunky" binding - 1 inch wide. Plus added some iridescent beads around the dragonflies.[ATTACH=CONFIG]612882[/ATTACH]
