Hmmm...I'd cut LARGE squares maybe for snowball block. Coord colors for 9 patch. Just one idea...sure many to follow. We just love helping other quilters.

Possibly a row quilt with this fabric being the focus fabric. So many possibilities:)

Is it an all over print? Or a border print? And what is the rest?

It's lovely ... and any of the focus print patterns would be nice.
Or perhaps it might be nice as the backing of the quilt .... which would let you hav a reversable quilt.

I had that same fabric.... didn't want to cut it too small so I used it for one side of my Winter placemats. But I do love the "attic window" idea ;-)
