    And the Big Decision is.......drum roll......I don't knowwwwwwww!!!!! so many great ideas from all of you. I don't know if the store where I got it even has any more. I bought it last Fall when they had a one day 50% off sale, that is why I bought 5 yards. I really think I am going to sit of this one for awhile until it shouts at me to do something. Maybe I will cut only a couple of hexagons to see what it will look like. Hmmmmm......decisions, decisions...

    You could get some software to try out the hexagons first before you cut into it. If you have EQ7, you can manipulate the image to show kaleidoscopes like in a OBW. To get the image into EQ7, you can scan the fabric and go from there, or you could use a photo you already have. It's easy and fun--and would give you an excellent idea of what you would have without cutting!

    I just had a thought - How about a large center of a quilt, just as it is. Then add a border around it of OBW blocks of the same fabric? Sounds like you would have enough!

    That is a really great idea, and am going to give it a lot of thought.
