I agree...I would cut it into a 4 patch posy and then pick a solid to highlight the blocks...it should be very pretty!

Agree, this might make a wonderful one block wonder. Check it first and stagger your strips (for diversity in blocks) and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Love the ideas others have given. Your ugly duckling might just turn into a swan.

I really like the purple flowers. I'd find out how big they are, then fussy cut them. Then any pattern with that size square in it could be used. You could even do a sampler with that as the common fabric. Good Luck!

I like the fabric. My first thought was make some pillow cases with it, but then it might be too busy for that. I had some fabric that I thought was ugly and I made a pillow case for my DGD and she loved it. I think this would look good as a cuff for the pillow case, with some solids as the body of the case. But.........then I like some of the other suggestions that were given. Look forward to seeing what you do. Good luck. BrendaK
