I'd use it as backing on something, but I wouldn't make blocks with it.

Wow, love that fabric, would be awesome for fall wall hangings, potholders, placemats, table runner, table cloth.

Would be awesome to make a nice kitchen set of cool projects.

I love busy fabrics for the center of squares and borders. These fabrics are beautiful and will make a wonderful quilt.

yes its busy,but if you fussy cut it you could tone it down a little. but it is very pretty. every one has different taste,so what you like some else might knot.

I wouldn't cut it up and piece it back together but rather machine quilt around each of the major items to make them pop out and then add several borders.
