I like the big decorative pillow idea. I see table cloths, place mats and maybe kitchen curtains.

I would make a quilt with those!

All suggestions are great ideas. I have some fabric like that from estate sales. Have seen lots of quilts with big prints. Like Bonnie Hunter says; If you don't like the fabric print just cut it into smaller blocks. I can see rail fence patterns, Drunkard's Path, and few others. Check out MSQC videos. dresdens, kaleidescopes.

Can you used them as backing for an quilt? It would be cute to mix several together .

I like to use decorator fabric with prints like those for travel accessories: laundry bag, curling iron holder, small drawstring bags for things like cords for phone, I-pads, etc., shoe bags. Makes travel more fun to take along a bit of home.

Pillow cases?

You've got some great colors and prints, you're going to have so much fun. What pattern are you going to use? I've made a number of quilts using decorator fabrics before. The big thing is washing them first, so your quilt will be washable (and you have already done that). I found that living in Yuma, AZ at the time, I didn't need to add batting (but I also used tapestry style fabrics). I've made a couple more quilts using decorator fabrics (love triwall, had a chair covered in the black and white and used the what and black for the quilt and shams), loved it but so did the people who bought my house (was selling the house furnished, so I sold the quilt with the house). Have fun, please show pictures of your finished quilt?
