    I would cut that beautiful fabric into rows of each different pattern or two so that you end up with as close to equal strip widths as possible. Then between them, add some co-ordinating blue and white pieced blocks in whatever design that strikes your fancy....even something as simple as mini pinwheels or a checkerboard. Just a thought.

    I'm with Sandy on this one!
    The first thought I had was actually fussy cut borders for a blue/white quilt.

    I agree about using that beautiful fabric as a series of different sized borders around a center using white/light background fabric with a variety of either blue pieced blocks or applique pieces. You could have 2-3 different border strips combined and then miter the corners to keep the flow of the pattern. It could be very striking!

    I'd d a blue & white FUSSY cut, mirror image cuts with this fabric. It depends on how much fabric you have to go with this piece to know what to make, and also the fabric repeat size. I'd LOVE some of the flowers to be the centers of a star pattern; or take some LONG strips to be your outside borders too. Find a pattern that you love after measuring the repeat, and go for it! With gorgeous fabric like this, your ideas are endless.
