Diamonds - 2 yards
All the rest 1 yrd each.

Good luck, I will be looking threw the possible hundred or so patterns I have also.
I love the African fabrics. I have a small collection, but none like those. I specially like the masks one. Can not help much with a pattern to combine them, but I do have a suggestion. Do you thing the masks will show better on a quilt if matched with a solid like black, gold or even the orange bertween the mask?

Maybe a square within a square, with the center rather large to show the masks, a solid narrow border and a wider border with the other fabrics. That will define where the masks fabric ends.

Just an idea to consider.
