i have a Secret Stitcher on another forum. She sent me the gorgeous print fabric. i bought the others to go with it.

I don't want to cut it up, so I was thinking of using it for some kind of large border or something. I dont know what pattern to use for the other fabrics though.

Here's a pic. Any thoughts appreciated

Why don't you do a pieced block on point with the coordinating fabrics and use the floral as in between blocks as a showcase. I'll see if I can find an example of what I mean.

We all seem to have secret friends here...the squishies seem to fly in all directions :lol: ...I think they are called fabric angels...or Secret Santas...or Valentines....or, well, you get the idea.

I like that BOM for showcasing the fabric. I was thinking of Ohio type stars with the fabric showcased, but I like what Colletta showed better.

Colletta has a great idea. I love the blocks that she showed. I think that would really showcase the floral fabric!

i like coletta's idea too!! I love that pinky fabric you got to go with it (looks like fat quarters from Joanns, I may have to stop and get some of that!).

I made a 9-patch with a floral alternating block. I think your supporting fabrics lend themselves to that type of pattern. The best size of the floral feature fabric can easily determine the size of the pattern block.
