How much of it do you have? can you use a backing or a border with some , 9-patchs, stars, or pinwheel, made in the colors of the trees. something simple that will not pull anyway from the trees.

You could also fussy cut large squares and use as the middle of a large block.

It looks like great border fabric to me.

If it has a good repeat, you could do a row with the trees, then a row with a pieced block using the colors in the tree fabric.

It looks like the repeat from side to side isn't continuous. So you could cut out squares? rectangles? and use them in any block that has a large inside. Attic window would be one, carpenter's wheel replacing the center star, a block like a picture frame. Look at quilter's cache to select a block. Choose the size depending on what size you would need to cut the trees.

I don't know if you can, but I see this as a stripe pattern. Maybe cut a stripe as a strip and put nine-patch or other blocks above and below the strip? Like a row quilt? It would be very pretty because of all the colors you can work with.

I like charsuewilson's ideas.
