I have obtained a nice stash of Asian-themed fabrics and panels lately .The latest ones are really beautiful. However, I have very few patterns. Can anyone suggest resources that would stress, in a simple way, the beauty of these designs?

The "sidelights" patterns really seem to work well with some of these amazing designs.

Here's one example:
