I love cacti and succulents and xeric landscaping so I totally fell in love with this fun print from Hoffman called Desert Dawn Cactus in the green "Caterpillar" colorway:

I want to make a quilt for my full sized bed that makes this fabric the star of the show. I've looked at medallion and panel quilts on pintrest but haven't found the right pattern to showcase this great fabric... Right now I'm most drawn to large squares with narrow sashing. Thoughts?
For the thin sashing, if that is what I end up going with, I'm hemming and hawing...
my first instinct was to go with dark purple solid such as Kona Cotton in Dark Violet:

Or a pink in bright dragonfruit shade with texture like Cotton + Steel Add It Up in Lip Gloss Or Alexander Henry Once Upon a Time Heath in Hot Pink Or something a little softer like Indah Batiks Dotty Diamonds in Bubblegum

Then I began to consider restful blues like Cotton+Steel Add It Up in Shibori, or Cotton+Steel Rice in Blue, or Art Gallery Twinklestar Dreamer in Blu

The colorful Kaffe Fasset Strata line also appealed to me, particularly the Stone and Summer colorways

I can only attach 10 files so I'll stop here for the moment
Any ideas or advice? I've never made a quilt before so I want to keep things a bit simple. However, I'm not new to sewing so maybe I can push myself just a little more than an absolute beginner?
Any and all observations are appreciated-- I'd love to read whatever you post
