I love this idea! I thought about half square triangles, but wasn't sure how busy it would look. This one looks amazing!!

In this photo...what you see is what shows on the bed top.... I now have it built out as far as it is going, but it's good to remember the extra borders will be on the sides, so they don't take away from the centre panel.

That panel is gorgeous! Look at the avatar for ArtsyOne. Does that give you any ideas? Look how she made that smaller center design the focus but framed it several times, creating the larger piece. Nicely done. A shadow box design might work with this same idea??

I have the same panel and also the switchplate (for the light), almost identical. The room is light blue. I haven't started on mine yet, but I have been collecting peacock like fabrics. I'm like you, really up in the air on how to do it. Please let me know what you decide.

I made a peacock panel quilt last year and I wanted it to look like it was in an Oriental Garden. I used a cobblestone fabric on the bottom for the walkway, and Oriental Lanterns framing the peacock. It came out awesome and is one of my many favorites! Have fun with it!!
