I'm stumped. I bought this fabric in France in May and I'm stumped as to the best pattern to showcase it. Keep in mind that I'm a novice and can't (or don't want to try) do a really complicated pattern. I want to try to keep the sunflowers, which probably means fussy cutting. The three flower section is 8" by 7".

Any suggestions?

I think the Warm Wishes quilt would look great with your fabric plus it's easy to make & goes together fast.

Use the sunflower fabric for the border.

Here's a doll quilt I made with my focus print as the border because I did not want to cut into it.

Above suggestions great ideas. My suggestion is fussy cut sunflowers, cut remainder fabric in 2" wide strips and do a log cabin style around sunflowers. Sunflower scraps could be in border with another log cabin in corner.

Have fun.
great fabrics.
