    I think I am going to cut it into strips. I have been wanting to try the jelly roll rug, and as greensleeves says the colours will coordinate. And I don't mind the colours, it was the combo of pattern, colour and size.

    Someone made a jellyroll rug out of fabrics she considered ugly and she loved the outcome. I did too! It looked great.

    My thoughts exactly! I went shopping specifically for border fabric to use in 60 degree triangle table runners. The pattern names are Triangle Frenzy Runner and Triangle Frenzy Swirl. They are gorgeous! Try it!

    Cut half square triangle blocks. Easiest way you will ever make them. The sides will be bias but if you starch before cutting you should be fine. You have some pretty combinations. When you look at just two fabrics at a time they look lots tamer.

    That's exactly what I would do.

    I love how someone can always come up with a solution I never would have thought of. I love stripes, and buy a lot of them. I just don't use them very often!!

    I like to use striped fabric for binding. I've seen One Block Wonders (I think that's what it is called) done using this type of striped pattern too. I've never made one but there is a design link to help with it... I saved it for future reference... I copy/pasted your fabric in design helper and it looks pretty cool...

    If you cut it into narrower strips you could use it to make a rope basket.....you know what I mean, where the fabric is wrapped around clothesline and then sewn together with a zigzag stitch.
