As soon as I saw your fabric, I thought of this pattern:

make your frames different widths and twist and turn it - maybe make some smaller filler blocks with solid colors taken from the different flowers - it would make a spectacular quilt.
Please show us what you finally decide to do with this great piece of vintage fabric!

I am going to agree with those who say just add some borders. It is beautiful as it is. I did that with one fabric I couldn't cut. Let me see if I can find a picture. I was very pleased with the result and very pleased not to have cut my fabric.

I was going to say to cut it into vertical stripes and add something in between, but now that you say it's vintage, I wouldn't cut it at all. If you want to maintain the integrity of the piece, you might even consider a summer quilt and just add a back and binding, no quilting. I have a couple of vintage summer quilts from the 30s. The tops are pieced with just a backing and binding, no quilting.

Don't know how much you have, but I would use it as a back to a quilt, tabletop or wall hanging so you don't lose the pattern.
