I might cut the rows apart and use them for vertival sashing, You could do vertical rows of braid (or something else), in matching colors and use this fabric to separate the rows.

I agree with maryb119 quilt it as it is. I love it that way.

If you don't want to use it as is, one suggestion I have is to use the strips as sashing and have plain squares in the middle with nicely quilted feathered wreaths on them.

Very pretty fabric. Can't add anymore ideas to this post but hope to see photos posted when you get your work finished.

Use it for backing. Too nice as is, to cut it up.

I would cut it in strips lengthwise and put a 3" white/2" dark green/3" white sashing. The use those colors for the border. Just a thought however you would have to cut between the white lines dividing the retangles. Good luck and be sure to post the picture when you are done.

I would use it for borders. Cut inbetween those lines. Nice long strips..

A shadow box would be nice around the rectangles

Cutting in 20"-24" blocks and bordering would be pretty. Or as others say just use it as a whole cloth
