I like a lot of the ideas here, but was surprised no one mentioned using some of it as a backing.
I bought a paneled print on sale a few years ago, simply bc I thought it would make a nice backing.
Kind of makes a quilt reversible.
so many opportunities here, like appliqueing in the center of the blocks.
I sew garments so I vision bags and things too.

I would try a kaliedescope (sp) pattern.

With that much fabric and the colors My kitchen would have a new place mats, pot holders, curtains, appliance covers and chair cushions.

Find something that goes with it and make ten minute squares. Use the size of the squares not the ten inches that that calls for.

Cut the borders out and see if you can border a quilt with it! Use the other for inclusion in a pattern and add some fabrics that have the colors that blend with it. If you have twenty yards you've got enough for maybe two quilts!

How about cutting into triangles, and finding a color to go with them. Make a HST quilt.

You could get some large grommets and make breezy curtains for a summer porch if you had one. Not quilting, but useful just the same.

Oh, wow, did you find a FIND… It would make gorgeous Whack N Stacks… Just play, play, play...

OK I want to do a small S&W but I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around how. Since these are 14" square panels how would I do it? The fabric is 45"wide.

It's beautiful! I would do a simple trapunto outline, using a fluffier batting for effect. It would be easy to do and make a lovely throw or, well, whatever size it is it will work. Let us know what you decide and send a picture.

I would cut the panels in half, vertically and horizontally. Then add strips of coordinating fabrics to two sides of each piece to make log cabin variation blocks.

I like the stack and whack idea. Also, if you need a quick comforter for a gift, you could measure off what is needed for the size bed and quickly have a really pretty comforter.
I am envious of aving20 yds!
Have fun with it.

Do you have enough to cut each block into fourths and rotate them around (as if you were doing a disappearing four patch block)? You could also make each block into potholders, hot pads, table toppers, or a table runner if you left them in a row. How about using them in a border around a skirt, or a tablecloth. It's beautiful fabric. Is it cotton? Is it wide enough to use as a tablecloth as it is? How about alternating these blocks with pieced blocks in a quilt? Wow, I just saw that you got 20 yards. That's enough to make something nice, and sell some. I'm nosy--do you mind me asking what you paid for it?
