Awesome Fabric. It looks like one of those pieces that you have to live with for a while before you know what to do with it!! It is so beautiful, I would want to make a wearable from it!

I am not sure how wide your material is, However I think cutting the center in half would make a GREAT tote. :) Have fun with it, beautiful material. :)

I completely agree! I see a table runner with the patterns on the fabric quilted. Simply add some amazing borders to it, and you would have an amazing runner!

In some parts of Africa, the women wrap the whole length around as a skirt and tuck or tie at the waist, so maybe it was not meant to be cut up. How you can use it, I don't know.
