Use it as the center strip/band and coordinate for the rest of the pieces.
The piece is very small. It's only about 30" wide and maybe 12" to 14" tall. There's not a selvedge to be seen anywhere. So even though there are several of the little pictures in it, there's not much width/length to it at all.
Potentially that's a huge piece when you start fussy cutting in that you can get a lot of pieces from it. Sometimes the prints lend themselves very well to it, and sometimes they merge all too much to fussy cut easily. Yours looks like it may work out well.

You could do a child's quilt or a lovely small lap quilt for yourself! Try the chalk route and see what works best before cutting.
