What I would do first with all this?...Hug it, pet it, drool over it! haha Seriously though, you have some beautiful fabric.

I want to have a collection like yours to make a thousand pyramids. Just my thing, I know, but I think it would be so cool to really have a thousand!
|
OMG how lucky are you. Your DH is definitely a keeper.

I love paper piecing and don't find it too wasteful, as I cut pieces as I go from WOF strips of each fabric and keep a pile of leftovers to use for appropriate spaces in the next arc. Look at books by Deb Karasik and by Karen Neary for inspiration and patterns. They have fabulous updated takes on NYB.

Oooh, love Cybrarian's suggestion!

Your fabric is gorgeous and whatever you choose will be a wonderful memento of how you acquired all that lovely fabric. Another pattern comes to mind:a narrow strip log cabin.
|
I have considered log cabin, or a log cabin in the round. I could make seahorses, light to dark.
|
I vote bargello. The gradation would be fabulous.
