I was just looking at a book by Barbara Brackman, Making History, Quilts and Fabrics from 1890 -1970, and the Savonnerie fabrics remind me of fabrics she has in a quilt that reflects the era around 1910 or so, except there is more yellow and less of the very dark fabrics that were used then. Still, I think a quilt she has in that book called "Goslings" would be very doable and would show the fabrics off beautifully. I don't know how big your bundle is or how large a quilt you would want to make, so it might be necessary to add some dark background prints and a suitable border, or just make a smaller version, but that's one idea. There is a picture of this quilt on the lower left of this page: https://www.softexpressions.com/soft...ks/4HG0670.php (I have had no dealings with this website, so it's not meant as an endorsement.)
