    Exactly what I was thinking, an attic window block. Lovely fabric. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

    Sidelights by Mountainpeak Creations is a pattern I’ve used many times with large print fabrics. The main piece is the size of a panel. I can understand why you purchased this fabric. It’s lovely!

    You could use that fabric for the border and a bit for the pieced center. Pull your colors from the fabric. It's easy to pick colors and works great.

    I would love to see the companion fabrics for this line. It might inspire you too.
    I made this quilt with winter fabrics, but, you could make it with this fabric and use the floral as the bars across.

    My first thought was EPP. (Grandmother Flower Garden, Stars, Dresden plates, etc.) I have fallen into the rabbit hole of EPP and I want to use it all the time now. Three meters is a lot of fabric - but if you fussy cut it that takes a lot more fabric. It is very pretty - totally understand why it followed you home.

    ... exactly what I was thinking .... attic windows ... done in large window sizes!

    And sometimes when I just can't cut it ... I use it as a whole cloth backing, making sure I match the pattern where I seam it.

    It's a neat fabric and would probably suck me right in, if I saw it in a LQS!
