When I have used a bold print similar to this, I go looking thru my tonals to see what works best with it. You could look thru two tone quilts or quilts that use one prints and other tonals.

Beautiful fabric.....I'd simply keep it and "pet" it daily.

Love the idea of pillows. You could make a lap quilt using the whole cloth (quilt it and bind it) and make a couple of pillows, using one of the solid colors for backing on all of that. I can just picture that setup on a sofa - preferably mine!

I would use it a a whole cloth or a back. I couldn't bring myself to cut it! Love that fabric!

A Convergence quilt could be fun!

The last time I hemmed and hawed about what to do about a fabric like that, I put a dark black with it and did this (picture below) quilt from Quilts, Quilts, Quilts (or maybe it was Quilts, Quilts and MORE Quilts). The nice thing is you still get lots of big pieces of it, while actually putting it into a quilt, a form that you can enjoy all the time instead of only during the shelf-petting hours!

Nowadays, I'll cut a 6" strip from such a fabric to use in many scrap quilts and leave the rest on the shelf until a project for it calls my name.

Sorry that the only shot I have of it is where I'm using it as a makeshift sunshade. It was a really hot day and it's now a very old quilt ;-). This was a Hoffman ombre of the day.

I think I'd just keep it for now. Many times, sometime down the road, I'll find a pattern that is perfect for fabric I'd saved for years but then gave in and used for something else. I've kicked myself then that I wasn't more patient.
