without the fabric images, it is hard to say. One of my favorite uses for an oriental FQ is as background for what I call "Initial Success". This is a single initial applique as a quick gift wallhanging. I also bought a printof a very large egret in flight. I merely put corners on it to make a diagonal placement. This was a twin sized quilt that sold for good money at auction. In the qulting, I outlined the feathers. I did feathered triangular 'wreaths' in the corners. The scale of you prints makes a huge difference. Someone on this board used a number of smaller scale prints, mainly florals, in 9" or so circles appliqued to a black background. That was lovely. I designed a table runner tea set using a small floral print and a couple of co0rdinating plains. They gave a nice impression of an oriental tea set.
