i like Tartan's idea. And maybe that pop of color that Lynnie is talking about--although I'm thinking a lime green or a reddish-orange (and only little pops!).

BTW I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE paisleys!

I'm thinking of a snowball or variation of a snowball pattern where the paisley is the snowball or every other snowball and the background would be a more muted selection of colors from the fabric (or complementary colors). There fabric itself has a lot of movement. I wouldn't want the background blocks to be too busy taking away from the focus fabric.

Thanks Sak658. I might try to find some coordinating fabrics. Might get in touch with the shop I found this from and see if they have any of the others. I do quite like this pattern.

I might just quilt it up as a whole cloth. It is so lovely.

That IS gorgeous and my 3 favorites; grays, teal/turquoise and paisley! I would have a difficult time cutting it up but agree use is in large blocks; like they use the large floral fabrics. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
