I also agree. Use it as it is and add a border. Nice fabric. Love the colors.

Not knowing the width of each floral rectangle is difficult to suggest but have you thought of a French Braid? Make sure you keep the flowers and if you have to cut the stems a bit it would be no great loss. Post pictures!!!!

Wow some great ideas here! Still not sure what I am going to do...and as the fabric has been around awhile, little over a year at my house, I am not going to cut it untill I am sure. I do know that there are 2 lenghts and that I need to find both before I can make up my mind. Thanks for all your suggestions.

Beautiful fabric! Whatever you decide will be lovely.

Have you thought about trying a more modern look with random placement and wider white space in between the panels.
Saw one on here done that way a bit ago that was really pretty. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t194903.html
My vision with your fabric is not exactly like the way she did hers since your strips would be much more narrow, but it does give you another starting point for exercising your creativity.

I would cut it in strips (carefully) and add a row of flying geese or pinwheels between.

I agree with maryb119, to me that would be the best use for the design of this fabric.
