Friends I am so happy to read your replies!
I feel refreshed, energized, and enlightened-- a big shift in perspective!
Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me. I now have a million beautiful, exciting possibilities thanks to the creativity and insight of the board.
I'm still digesting all the info, but here's where I'm at right now...
Bjchad mentioned looking at the rest of the collection for coordinates, something I didn't consider before because I normally am not a matchy-matchy person. But of course I immediately went wild for another print from the collection,

The background is actually black. Again, it's by Sevenberry for Robert Kaufman, from the Petite Garden collection. It reminds me of one of my favorite Liberty of London prints (Wiltshire) and has a delightfully exuberant mood.
I've never made a real quilt before so, I thought a simple checkerboard might work, but then I saw this micro print from the same collection and wondered if a little sashing might be in order

It reads as yellow-cream from a distance and looks super adorable. It also much much smaller in scale than the other two prints (which are the same size)
I really like the idea of pattern, pattern, and pattern.... but maybe I am an odd ball
Going to let this turn around in my mind for a while, re-read the thread again, and consider.... any and all comments are welcome.
Thank you all again for your generous help <3
