My instinct is since they're printed on a larger scale, they'd work best with larger blocks. A disappearing 9-patch would look nice.

It's hard to tell the scale, from that photo. Are the prints as large, as they look?

Nice fabrics - I think I would add some of the green and some of the blue somewhere in your quilt.

I like that wavy design in the second from the left fabric. I wonder if you could mimic that on a bigger scale with your fabrics.

I like this idea, too. One of the really fun things about this pattern is that there are so many ways to put the finished blocks together. I would try to add some solids or blendables in those pretty colors, blacks, and whites.

They are beautiful fabrics and I am sure whatever you come up with will be stunning. Welcome.

If you want a quilt with large blocks, Nancy Zieman had part one of a two part show on yesterday with a really easy large block - I think it finished up at approx. 22" It was really nice. With four fabrics you could do a rail fence too. Just search the internet for ideas.

I think you need a large block, too. Plus, the prints need to be balanced out by adding at least one other color in a solid - white, black, the green or blue in the prints.
