I like Susans idea. That fabric is awesome. I love it. I have a pattern that the focus fabric is 27 1/2 X 18 1/2 then it has blocks around it. It ends up being 40 X 49. I wanted mine bigger so I made it bigger. Its called "Sew Be IT" The main feature from 2005. The designer is Cheryl Wittmayer. If your interested I can post a picture of 1 I did.
