this is my vote also. You might lose the overalll beauty of the piece. Not that one block wonders aren't beautiful, I would pick a fabric not quite as pretty for OBW.

Either way, it will be a lovely quilt. I can't begin to offer a suggestion. Go with your heart. Best wishes with this choice you make.

Looks like it would make a beautiful border fabric.

OBW gets my vote...it is beautiful and could morph into something YOU created.

Love your material!!!! Gorgeous!!!! I don't know if I could cut that or not. :shock: I can see it just as a top as is. It has wonderful lines already for quilting around.
