I was given this and I'm unsure what to do with it. I thought I'd make a rail fence by adding two or three coordinating fabrics.

But what else? I have quite a lot of it.

Ideas?

your fence rail idea sounds good, if you have enough you could also use it to bind the quilt. How wide is the strip?

2-1/4"

Use it for making string blocks, binding, scrappy blocks, crazy quilt blocks, trims, etc.

Wow, what fabric print - whatever it will be, it is going to be beautiful!

Is it suitable for OBW?

I thought OBW needed to be big pieces of fabric...at least squares. ?? I don't know, but I don't really care for OBW (at least not yet).

I think that using it in crazy blocks would be a great idea. I could even do a themed quilt by using this strips once in each block and using colors that coordinate as I use my scraps (which are many).

Could also be sashing (it looks subtle enough)...very cool find..let us know what you decide.

Well, for sure I'll do a rail fence. I started cutting the coordinating colors today...but it is such an easy pattern...need to get busy!
