Would you even bother?
Obviously I fussy cut flowers out of this fabric and now I'm left with this...
and silly me, not wanting to waste fabric, I'm thinking I can cut it further and use it in a scrap quilt but hmmn, what a pain in the you know what. I don't think there is an easy way. What would you do? How would you attempt to cut it? Or seriously, would you even bother?
And I'll try to get a pic of one of the quilts that came from this mess if it will work...

That is a very pretty quilt. There seems to be a lot of scrap fabric left .... if you wish you can cut that fabric up into lumber yard cuts, ....... 2 X 2, 2 X 4, 4 X 4, etc. or just cut it into useable hunks.

It looks like that piece of fabric did its job and gave you everything it had to give.
I think it might be difficult to salvage what's left, even for a scrap quilt, especially if you needed patches that are cut on grain. You have a lovely quilt; don't give the leftover hunk another thought.

I would cut out the salvageable sections which I see are many. I toss the smaller unusable scrapes into a bag and donate them to a lady who makes bedding for the local shelter. Funny, my cleaning lady had them tied up ready to toss in the trash. I stopped her just in time.
