    It would look good in a landscape quilt but I would use it for an appliqué wallhanging. The fabric reminds me of hollyhocks. I can see the fabric used around the appliqué of an old English style cottage with a thatched roof. Great fabric!

    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.

    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 think it'd be a pretty border or part of a landscape quilt.

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