What can I make with this fabric?

I have this awesome asian print fabric. the print is slightly large, but can be divided up. I cant sew quilts or clothes and I'm not big on purses. My creativity is running low. What else can I make with it?

I think if you paint your whole bedroom a dark blue, you will regret it. It will make your room feel smaller and more closed in. Why not try a silver color paint on the walls, with one wall in dk. blue as your focal point. You could also pick up the dark
