What Would You Do With This?

It would make a cute center piece for a baby "changing pad". I usually make them about 22" x 24", and quilt around the design. Then I put a binding around the outside, and embroider the baby's name somewhere, either on the quilted top, or the plain back or the edging, whichever shows up best.
These are so handy -- someone made one for me when I had my first baby (she is now 33), and I have been gifting them ever since...

Fussy cut out every motif and then applique them on white squares, and use those squares in a quilt. The seam lines will "dissappear" when you echo quilt an outline of them on the finished quilt.
Use repeats of the colors to make the other elements of the quilt top.

Maybe use it as a wide band in one of those wide band/strip quilts?
Use it as the center strip/band and coordinate for the rest of the pieces.

I was fortunate enough to have been given 25 or so FQ of a line of Moda fabrics called Sweet Pea. It is all juvenile prints in pink. blue and green. I sat on the shelf for almost a year before I found a pattern to use the fabrics in. A pattern by Henry Glass using 4 patches and applique. Like someone else said, it will come to you. But do consider fussy cutting the piece and teaming it up with an alternate block of a matching color or colors. Most of all have fun!
