Beautiful fabric! Whatever you decide will be lovely.
Have you thought about trying a more modern look with random placement and wider white space in between the panels.
Saw one on here done that way a bit ago that was really pretty.

My vision with your fabric is not exactly like the way she did hers since your strips would be much more narrow, but it does give you another starting point for exercising your creativity.
