With the simpleness of the pattern it should easy to pair it up with other fabrics, other complementary solids or maybe other polka-dots? I found an image online that is very similar to the fabric, not the exact brand and line but very, very similar. My quilt will be for one of my little girls or nieces.
It has been fun looking at others images of fabrics, my brain is already churning for ideas for that would match the style of fabric. Also, let us know for who the quilt will be for, for me that helps alot for the ideas.
I think that fabric will be quite easy to work with, not to mention fun. I think you'll get a lot of variety with that.
Good idea to let each person know as much about what is needed/wanted of the grown-up-blocks as necessary (other than the bock design of course). Please make sure that we send it WITH the F8 though as I know I won't be sifting back through what could be several dozen pages of posts here on QB to see if SwapperA might have mentioned anything about likes/dislikes.
After looking at your's and considering the price you paid ... I think I'm going to follow suit with a simple print that I bought on sale just because I couldn't pass up on the sale and oh-gosh-oh-golly I'll find a use for it somewhere.
