Fell in love with Kona

I have found Kona fabrics and can't take my eyes off of it when I go to the fabric store. Has anyone used this beautiful Japanese flavored eye candy? I love it, but the patterns are pretty large and I can't bare to think about cutting it up into pieces. I want to b uy some, but until I can come up with a good way to use it I hve been holding myself back. AHHHHHHHHHHHH

ps - I guess I'll have to change my yuks below. LOL

Saw a gorgeous piece made by my friend Chris: center of NY Beauty blocks in

2 sizes, surrounded by a splendid wide border of (probably) Kona print, the Japanese flying cranes in rose, cream and brown/green. Chris pulled all the colors from her inspiration print to piece the blocks. (She is well into SABLE.) You wouldn't have to do NY Beauties. Simple Ohio Stars done in different colors would be lovely. The idea is to use the super print as your color scheme, and as a border. Roberta in D

Hi, I used two Japanese prints -- the main one with cranes and volcanoes and the others more toned down -- for a convergence quilt. I used that as the basis for a wallhanging for my mom. You can see the end result here:
