I posted a while ago that DH suggested I make a quilt for his aunt out of this fabric line.

Waited for them to post a pattern using the fabric. It's just too big. I'd had a lap or at best twin size in mind.

I'd like to incorporate all of the fabrics except for the last 4 shown. I'd like to focus on the hydrangeas and the blue shells and use the border fabric in some way. Maybe the lighthouses too. Given the size of these elements, I'd probably have to fussy cut them at 6" square.

Any suggestions as to a pattern style that might work? (Am doing OK picking fabric for a pattern but a total newbie at picking a pattern for the fabric.)

Or would it be possible to make this more rectangular lengthwise by resizing the borders and removing one length of blocks on the right and the left?

TIA
