I would use it as a theme & then fill in around it.

I really like your ideas. ♥

Just beautiful, I would use it for backing and look for a pattern that you could use the colors in the print to pull it altogether maybe use some of the fabric as a boarder

Gorgeous fabric and would make a great OBW if you had more fabric. I agree with using it as a whole panel also. Whatever you decide will be beautiful.

I am just a beginners quilter, but I would use it as a panel.

I received a great piece of fabric several years ago from Bali..actually the night of the bombing my son was in this village looking for some fabric for me and had been taken to this source ran by women. (another story lol) I bordered the fabric..but did not even back it or quilt it..just use it to lay over the back of couch..sometimes on a table..move it around so i see it every day..it may have saved his life

Stunning fabric. Don't know how you would use it to get the best results.
