What would you do with this?
 

While looking for fabric, I stumbled across this. I'm so intrigued. What would you do with this (in quilting, of course)?

Here's where I found it:

A foundation for appliques----dragon flies, butterflies, kitten.....etc. Very pretty fabric.

My first thought also. Perfect fabric for background for applique!

Perhaps a border.

what's a landcape quilt?

Ah.... just went to http://images.google.com and entered "landscape quilt"

Amazing...mmm....

Screams window shade to me.

Its very pretty - I was thinking - pillowcase - I love to make pretty or cute pillowcases to dress up a bed - I also think that it would look great on a landscape quilt.

i'd love it for a border on a garden themed quilt. or it would make a good stack and whach.

If not a landscape quilt, then applique it on a floral trellis quilt. In and amongst morning glories would be beautiful!

I first thought it would make a nice border on a simple floral quilt. Second thought was it would be lovely simple gathered curtains for a window (cafe style) with a nice quilted floral valance....great fabric.

Depending on the direction of the pattern I would use this beauty as a border on a garden style quilt. Love it, TFS.

OH my gosh , it looks like a crazy quilt block before ya put the ribbon work and stitches on it. Beautiful. it also looks like stalks of flowers next to lake. Very pretty.

I saw someone use it for a border. But like the applique idea better.

Wow, that's really great material. My first thought was drapes for a utility room (where my washer and dryer are) to liven it up a bit. But I know it would make a great landscape piece with possibly mountains set far back. Would be cute for small applique animals like small rabbits, butterflies, birds, and cute mice intermixed. That would be really hard to decide. I can't wait to see what you make out of it!

I agree landscape quilt!

keep it in my stash, take it out occasionally, pet it and promise 'some day, my pretty'

I also think of a landscape quilt, with meadows of flowers and butterflies. That woulld look so cool.

otis, pillow cases of pretty fabrics for your bed, what a great idea guess i know what my next project will be lol

I would use it behind one of the laser-cut applique stencils (like frames or windows). This is one website, but there are many others that sell these. Someday, I'm going to make one!

I agree on the landscape quilt. Could be interesting. Good luck finding the right thing

So many ideas...hummmmmmmmm - a landscape quilt, a base for applique, a wonderful wide border on a soft -colored quilt top. It's just a delicious piece of fabric. Thanks for sharing.

I think you should get rid of it . it would look nice in my TN home to be a quilt of the future

This is also my comment. I wish I had some of this fabric. It would probably shrink with all of my drooling over it.

I would embroider some hummingbirds or other birds at the top and a few little bunnies in the bottom

I like the applique idea of dragon flies & butter flies, birds, maybe a cat, dog & frogs at the bottom.

It is so pretty. I think I'd have a hard time deciding, too! Applique seems like a great solution. Or embroidery.

Sorry to outside the box but looks like a blouse to me. I would love to wear it with beige jeans.

My thought would be to choose a quilting pattern to fit it and then quilt the entire piece. I think I could look at this & always enjoy it.

I see applique butterflies, maybe a fence in front, a garden. Landscape background.

One other suggestion- leave it as it is and overstitch it with french knots and all kinds of other decorative stitching. It is beautiful.

cool cool cool applique some butterflies on it and there you go. looks wonderful. I would of bought it too.

One of my distant goals is to make a french knot picture. I have a wonderful book with examples. This would be a great background to use for that then frame it for the wall. My problem is lack of wall space.

I'm with otis...pillowcases.

Maybe a water color quilt. Beautiful fabric!

I'm thinking appliqued butterflies, dragonflies, and bugs all over it.
