LOL love all the responses ~ I agree, that would be very befitting as the backer for a house block quilt :)

I pulled some pinks out of my stash and it goes well with them...so I'm thinking a pink & white baby quilt with this as the backing?? :)

See...I just needed to see it through other people's eyes. :)

You could even fussy cut some of the pinks for the front!!!

Save it for a backing. But I had to laugh anyway!

I used to have some pillow panels that matched that. They were pretty.

I love the colors in this fabric and all the brick houses! I would use it like cheater fabrics and quilt around the houses to give them more dimension. Very pretty for a cottage or guest room quilt!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. This is not a fabric you want to enter into the ugly fabric contest. You wouldn't have a snowballs chance. Even without squinting, I find beauty and potential. Put it back in the tote, revisit it next year, before you offer it for sale.
