I'm not sure what to do with it, but if you look at it upside down according to the picture, it almost looks like flowers in a vase.

Dittothe tote or throw pillow. Could be interesting as a 4-patch posey. :?

reminds me of the things that hang from a cuckoo clock.

there's a pattern in the latest Fons & Porter magazine (I'm pretty sure- I'd have to look when I get home) that is for a manly quilt for Dad. It has cool fabric- kind of reminds me of it.

A tote bag would be really neat -- add some red flowery fabric for accent!

Interesting fabric. I agree a tote would be nice with it.
