New Fabric - Metro Market by Kaufman

I saw this fabric and knew I had to have it, isn't it fun!

But what would I use it for? I am trying not to buy fabric, just because I like it. The most obvious choice is a table runner, which I may make. Instead I am making a floor mat for the kitchen. The inspiration came from the book Patchwork Style, by Suzuko Koseki.
Almost done, then I will add a couple of more layers of batting and quilt it. I think this will be so cute in the kitchen. The cool thing about this floor mat is that if it gets torn or stained, you just sew more fabric on.

the floormat, what a COOL idea!! the fabric looks retro to me, but i can't place it... 40s? 50s?
