    THis is what I thought too. Too pretty to cut!

    It is beautiful fabric as it is and I think it would make a fabulous one block wonder. Obviously the choice is yours. But of course, we need to know what you do with it when you decide. :D

    I'm not a fan of OBW either. There's something about the repeating motifs that bother me.

    I'd use it in a fussy-cut way and incorporate the motifs into blocks like a center patch in a block or as whole blocks between pieced blocks.
