Ok no one cringe, but i am making a Grandmothers flower garden. I would cut it up for pieces for it. It would look like i used yards of fabric for the different floral pieces and it all came from one piece.

Jillaine, I loved that fabric too, but was too chicken to buy it! I'm eagerly reading the answers people gave you. Hope you have fun with it!

Ooh - I had an idea... It would look great as the outer (or inner) few rows of blocks in a blooming nine patch quilt!
To show you what I mean below is a link to some that were posted on Pinterest. with your fabric, you could start with heavier florals and then fade off softly into the whispier look on your fabric. That would really be lovely!

Sorry to be a triple poster here, but I just found this fabric in a black background colorway too at:

And Pamela - your GFG idea is wonderful! I'm dreaming, not cringing!

Great idea! Wouldn't want to lose the beautiful pattern

Landscape quilt would be good, but I also love the idea of a window shade.

Background for an art quilt -- perhaps landscape? Fabric is really pretty.
