Busy as it is, I can see this fabric being a wholecloth type quilt... no piecing. Just great quilting.

I agree with a backing...maybe make red and yellow 9 patch blocks for the front. I sure wouldn't cut it up to use for the front of a quilt because you would loose so much of a motif and end up with so many scraps.

Treat it as a panel for a quilt top or wall hanging but you still will have plenty left over for another project!

It would make a great backing for an I Spy quilt.

Good thoughts and suggestions here and I have another. The fabric is bright and cheerful and a great theme. I'd respect that, add a couple borders (narrow black or dark blue or green and then another complimenting color. That's the front. Find a farm animal print, a barn wood print, flowers, etc for a solid back. Hope you post whatever you make
