Did you do the burn test to see if it is 100% cotton? I think it is very pretty HOWEVER if I knew I could get around $70 on ebay I would sell it and buy fabric that I would LOVE.

the alternative is to send it t me and i will send you more than $1.00. should i pm my address?

I agree, just add borders, I can see some wonderful quilting when it is finished in the feather pattern which is already present in the fabric shown. It is very unusual and striking, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
