    It IS beautiful that's for sure. I don't think it's really OBW material although on the other hand, part of me wants to get some just to try it! Helpful, aren't I? LOL

    To cut that beautiful fabric? I don't know how you could. I'm with any idea that doesn't include chopping up this fabulous print.

    I think it would make a great OBW but leave enough of the fabric to have the original as the boarder so you can see how beautiful the fabric is as a whole.

    This appears to be too uniform for a good OBW. How about incorporating it into a large print design, such as Sizzlin’ Summer Retreat, Posted By Margaret on May 12, 2010
    http://www.quiltingwithmargaret.com/?paged=2
    or a panel quilt. Can’t find a good link. Alex Anderson did some nice orientals in panels. Another idea would be to fussy cut and use large blocks without too many small cuts to distract from the design. Or, even, a whole cloth with perhaps a series of sparkle borders, print, border, print, border, binding.
