Normally, I don't have the least hesitation cutting into fabric. But these are so fanciful, and I don't want to ruin them with a bad decision.

They are a very generous fat quarter, of a nubby, rough fabric called 'bark cloth.'

Any ideas about what to do with them?

Love them. This could be a creative opportunity.

Hmmmm, tote bags maybe...

This is what I did with my fabrics, there were a few bark cloth pieces included in it.

I'd want to keep them as intact as possible no matter what I did with them. The one with the zebras is just too cute for words. "Fanciful" is the perfect description for them. I agree with a bag or tote large enough to really showcase them. But I adore thimblebug's quilt too! It was a great way to showoff prints like this. You may have to collect a few more.

If any of the designs go with your décor, you could stretch it over canvas and hang it on your wall.

Wall hanging, or vest, or tote - those would be my guess, but how to design?

I'd be using them for tote bags too. Beautiful fabrics. Lucky you!

You could use a 3 yard quilt pattern that has the big block for special fabric to be the focus.
Add two yards co ordinating fabric and make a darling quilt.

Thank you all for your ideas, and thimblebug, for the link to your great-looking quilt. Anytime I can see a visual it is so helpful. I did want to make a quilt out of these, as I'm not a sewist of other sorts of things. That's a great idea, Onebyone. I will look into the 3 yard quilt concept.
