I can see a really pretty "Big Block" quilt with that beauty. using either the peach, ice blue, or mauve as the light back ground, and black for the accent color. Just my musings...

My immediate thought was One Block Wonder it Stack and Whack! Your fabric is so beautiful. Try gliding a two-fold mirror around and see if you love what you see!

That's the fabric I used for a Stack & Whack quilt! It turned out great with a peachy background.

Lots of great ideas thrown at you...I just wanted to say that it is pretty fabric and it’s okay if you’re not ready to cut it up yet. : )

My first thought was Stack and Whack, too, and then strips for the borders to evidence what the original fabric looked like. If you don't want to cut it, is there something you can do using long strips with a design of your preference (maybe ribbons) between? Would it lend itself to be used as a panel??

not sure what to do with it. I have 7 yds of coordinating fabric for back and borders.
Are there 4 repeats of the fabric? If so, a 4-patch pozey would be beautiful

I have saved beautiful fabric too long and somehow it doesn't look as beautiful down the road. It's happened to me a lot so now I use it while I still love it

This is what I love to do with a fabric that I don't want to cut. The pattern is View from the Cabin by Twin Cities Quilting. You can use some of the coordinating fabric for the log cabins. I love the mix of modern and traditional.

I like the "Sidelights" pattern (hope that is the correct name -- I am not where I an check) or some of the BB by Island patterns.
