I thought it looked like mushrooms. We have morels here that look kinda like that.
My idea was to use it to make basket blocks so maybe subliminally I saw flowers.

Hhhhmmmmmmmmm - maybe a candidate for a Stack N Whack? At first I though it looked like whacked off toes of shoes hanging from ribbons - but, nooooo. Can't decide.

Actually, after a bit but before your post, I was thinking about morels as well.

My mind went completely elsewhere, but I love the color, I wonder what sort of kaleidoscope it would make.

It looks to me like a bra on a hanger, hanging from a dressmaker's
mannequin.

Turn it the other way...so your "dangles" are up. I'm betting it's a tribal print...it's two people, wearing trible hats in an embrace. I think it would make a fantastic African type wall hanging.

Look at it this way :)

I can see what you mean jbs :)

dvseals, don't you think it would be an awesome African style jar appliqued on a background fabric that resembles a grass mat? With the woven grass style markings in the background I think it would be AWESOME!! add a border with some large airy leaves, some animal print on the next border...a cool sunsetty (new word, like it? LOL) color batiks for the binding... yep...you could make this one awesome piece!!

Depending on how much yardage you have, you might use it for a backing. It surely is different.
