    You don't say how much of the fabric you have. That would be helpful... also, how old are your girls? What do they suggest? It is darling fabric.

    There's about 1 1/4 yard of the fabric but the 1/4 yard is more cut up than solid. My girls are 6 and 8.

    Why not make it a whole cloth mini quilt then add some colorful borders, thenquilt with a pleasing design for the girls. I would quilt Teddy Bears of different sizes.

    I agree with Rettie V. Grama. It would make a darling mini quilt for the girls.

    Another thought would be to cut the bears apart & put sashing around the smaller bears to make them the same size as the bigger bears. Then alternate them to make two quilts & finish them off with two or more borders to make them the size you want them.

    There are so many wonderful ideas on here. It's going to be pretty difficult to pick one.
