pattern thoughts?
these are french milled, totally gorgeous fabrics.
the repeats are large and it seems an utter shame to cut them up too much. i was thinking a swoon quilt might be gorgeous, but that would definitely turn them into scraps.
do you have any quilting pattern suggestions that would compliment them? i am all ears

So beautiful!!! How about cutting them into largish squares and just put them next to each other like Kaffe Fassett does? Or use a thin sashing. I wouldn't want geometry drawing any attention from the fabrics.

How about a Falling Charms quilt? Only I would cut the squares 6.5" instead of 5" and cut the sashing strips 2" wide instead of 2.5". Here is a link (take a good look at the quilt hanging in the background):

This one is called Around the Twist. Imagine using greens in the twist. It would look like a rose trellis. http://anniesquiltorts.blogspot.com/...-festival.html
