I would make a 4 patch posie with it. If you google it, there are many options for settings introducing other coordinating colors for sashing.

It's a gorgeous piece and I think should remain whole, as a back, and inspiration for a front with those colors.

I think your fabric would be gorgeous in a quilt like Meyert put a link to. It is gorgeous, love those colors.

I would use it as backing for a pineapple quilt that pulls from those colors. Really pretty fabric!

I bought a flat fold bundle of 5 5yard cuts in different Hawaiian prints and plan to use them as backing because they are cheerful. I vote for backing if you have enough, or some pillows? Very pretty fabric and adorable helper!

I can see it as a large fussy cut checker board quilt. But I am partial to checker board quilts.

I do like the BQ patterns, though would this fabric get lost with the BQ block cuts?
What I am meaning is that the link that MeyerT shows, the fabric shows little background colouring, and an allover design. Whereas Ooftas, has a lot of background colour, so the blocks would each have a a lot of background and a chunk of flower. KWIM? Unless you did a lot of FC work?


For the OBW naysayers, there have been a lot of impressive OBW shown here on the QB using non-movement fabrics. Also a lot with more background than print. Those quilters have proven to us that the rules don't always need to be followed to have a really nice quilt!

If you don't have enough to use for a backing and don't want to fussy cut it, what about making a summer picnc table cloth or place mats?
