Very beautiful, not seasonal at all. I would probly use it as a backing because I wouldn't want to cut it!

I'm thinking a large tote with the blocks each featuring the beautiful parts of that fabric and lined with either a co-ordinating mini stripe or a solid in that gorgeous deep blue!

I agree with this, (don't know if photo will go along with "quote") That fabric too pretty to cut, to me it says "spring wedding"

Keep it whole and quilt it for a wall hanging. Way too pretty to cut & I don't think you would get the detail of the pattern if you cut into it.

You don't say how much fabric you have of this fabric, but could you make it the center of a quilt and add either blocks, sashing / borders bring out the colors in the fabric. I would love to use the striped fabric in there somehow.
