I also think it would be perfect for a stack and whack

Like the butterfly quilt idea , or you could make a quilt with those colors and use this for the backing.

I bought several yards of fabric that, I think, was supposed to be pillow tops - on sale. Looks like yours only pink flowers. I cut out the squares, turned them on point and added sashing. On the side set-in triangles, I thought were too plain, so I cut out a flower and appliqued it on the plain cream corners. This ended up a king sized quilt. Also made two more quilts from the fabric and still have more. Each is different layout. You just have to use your imagination. Have fun.

I would make a stack and whack and I would also use it for a backing on another quilt! That is great fabric!

OK, I am showing my ignorance here, but how does one take a square such as this and do stack and whack with it? I can't seem to apply the concept as I understand it to this type of fabric.
Do you match up the layers? 6? 8? Cut into strips? How wide? Please give me the details as I have some similar I'd really be interested in using this way if I could but grasp the concept! LOL

They would make great tote bags.....just line them.

Stack and Whack but make each a bit different. You have enough to end up with different design spirals, even though there is some waste. Example: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/or...120e46a12c.jpg or http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/...tack_whack.htm

I would find a nice backing and make a really nice big quilt, or you could do the front and back the same.. That might be interesting!! You'd still have enough to make pretty matching pillowcases and/or throw pillows to go with the quilt.. It is such a pretty print, I love it, lucky you!i

WOW! How creative everyone is. What great ideas for a stunning fabric. When I saw it I immediately thought of broderie perse and trapunto on the left overs from the grand project.
