Need your Ideas, please

I love this fabric, but am stumped on what to do with it.
The bottom piece is a stripe. I am wondering about finding a blue that matches the blue in the stripes to use with these pieces? I really have no particular pattern in mind. I've been looking at these for a couple of weeks and decided to go to my favorite people for some ideas. Thanks for your input.

how wide is the blue stripe? Could you cut it on point so that the 2 points are in the middle of it and the brown looks like it is sewn on two sides?
Or add another fourth material with blue in it? And then use that as a border?

Depending on how much fabric you have --how abour D9P. Using the stripe as the 4 corners, the brown print as the 4 middle squares and the solid brown as the center. This way when you cut the 9P the solid would only be the small squares of the pattern. The Blue in the stripe could be made to be in the center of the corner squares so it would stand out in the pattern.
