Beautiful fabric. I would add more if possible and use whatever pattern I like. That being said---you could use the print like a panel in the middle and add friendship stars all around it if I were limited to just what you are showing.

I agree. Maybe throw some solids like the blue and beige/tan (not sure of background on red and blue stars fabric).
Or a muted red color coordinated. Beautiful fabric.

It depends on what patterns you like to make. I would add a couple of other prints and do a MSQC Falling Charms. If you added a red that would match the collection, you could also do a Warm Wishes pattern. Both are free along with being quick and easy and can be found on the internet.

I would make something that requires only 3 fabrics. BQ is one that would work and it can be a 9 or 18 inch block so it is very quick. https://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...F-8&n=60&x=wrt
Another is the Warm Wishes block. You can use a focus fabric for it and 2 other colors to do the alternate block. https://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...k&fr=yfp-t-901

I agree with above posts, something that you wouldn't have to cut that fabric on the right too small because of the wording on it. It could be your focus fabric. I like those BQ ones, never tried those, but also like warm wishes and falling charms, have done those, they go together pretty easy and quickly.

How much do you have of each fabric? If you want to make a quick quilt, I would use the one on the right as a center panel, then do a thin border of red, then a wider border of the tan and stars, another thin red border, then the blue back ground for another border and then bind it all with the red. To quilt I would then consider stars of various sizes all over the place.

I recently made a QOV, using the BQ3 pattern because I have the same fabric on the right with the words on it. Wanting to avoid cutting it up too much, I used it as the focus print. The pattern called for 12.5 inch squares, just perfect for that fabric. The other two fabrics would be excellent for the remaining pieces in the block, which is about 18 inches square.

Beautiful fabric but I would add a solid (red, navy or cream). The only pattern that came to mind where the fabric would be cut in larger pieces is the puzzle quilt pattern.
