I don't like the violet or lavender stripes in the background, so I would fussy cut the patterns/designs to eliminate all of all the striping that I could and would put it with a solid of a dark hue. I would probably add another floral if I could match the blue what-ever they are or the roses. That said, I think this fabric just by itself would make a beautiful bed skirt for a quilt showcases the fabric. In a very feminine room this would be a beautiful upholestred (really butchered that spelling!)headboard.

I wouldn't use it at all! Too sweet for me. Makes my teeth ache! Good thing we all have different tastes and opinions.

It's beautiful. I think a wall hanging would be very nice, where you could embellish certain things and put batting behind the swan.

Beautiful fabric. Doesn't necessarily look like Valentine's Day. Does look like love, wedding, romance, or just a beautiful picture.

It's gorgeous! How about making an Attic Windows since it looks so scenic?

I think it is too pretty to cut. I'd make a "cheater" quilt, just adding borders. I did that with a fabric I couldn't cut, and I was very pleased with the results. Let me see if I can find a picture...just to give you an idea of what you could do.
