:?: Great Fabric. I am sure anything you do with it will be very nice. I do have a question. Is this the backside of the fabric? What does S.U. stand for?

I would have a hard time cutting this up also, but you may want to do a cascading stair-step of charms with some coordinatiing fabric.

I'd have a hard time cutting that up too but attic window with a scene behind it and don't forget to put the US in the border, I think that would look great!! or backing so you don't have to cut it up.

Hmm, I would piece a center with colors pulled from the pattern and then add the planes as a wide border. The print seems to be lending itself to horizontal bands. You could also do a quilt with 'brick' blocks.

The picture is actually reversed for some reason. It says US. Sorry about that.
