I'd use the striped, cut on the bias, as binding.
The diamonds I'd use as cheater cloth to make a charity quilt for a child.

It would look great as a border, but have you thought about using some to make a brightly colored summer tote?

I have seen a great child's quilt with Noah's ark theme with this exact fabric in it. It was beautiful. I don't even know how to direct you to it! But you could search baby quilts??

Yup - borders would be good. Rail fence would be good for the stripes with a narrow black inncer border and the harlequin for the outer border. Use black binding - wow!

Anybody have some awesome ideas other than use it for a backing or a circus tent?

Thanks!

I would cut strips (same width as the individual stripe), then re-assemble
into an Amish-like "Trip Around the World". You could do one big project
or individual 12" or so square blocks, and border them with black
sashings/outer border.

This is a fabric I could get into. I would use the ddiamond for the backing and incorporate some solid colors to match the strpes. Just squares of the strip and plain would be a great baby quilt or toddler quilt
