I think i'd use the synthropol method above, and find a green batik that goes with the greens in the panel for backing/binding/border if you want one. As to quilting I think you could have some gorgeous designs by just echo quilting around the main designs...

If it does bleed, give it another go in the tub and check to see if any colours are bleeding into the cream. If it is good, then dry it.
I would then use it like wholecloth panel, sandwich and quilt around the different patterns in the panel. |
very lovely fabric

No ideas, it is beautiful. Make wall hangings and you won't have to worry about bleeding.

So beautiful!!!

It's a gorgeous panel. I would just quilt it and bind it off! It will make a great quilt!

The panels are very pretty. You could use a color catcher sheet when you wash them, they really do work.
