Hey I like it. It could be a good backing and you could follow the lines and practice your free motion quilting. Unless your like many on this board who are great at it. Im not this is why I often look for fabric to practice on. I think it would make really cool pinwheels as well. For a OBW shouldn't the pattern repeat every 12 to 15 inches. This is what I've been told. But then again I have never attempted on. I hope we get to see your finished project.
