Asking for ideas
 
3 Attachment(s)
I have this beautiful rich fabric which I bought some years ago and also some for my BFF. We agreed we wouldn't cut into it until we came up with something special to make. Well we are no closer today than we were then, so I'm asking if anyone can suggest a pattern that will do this fabulous fabric justice. Unfortunately it doesn't have any info on the selvedge. It had been a top shelf fabric and I got it for about 1/3 of the cost. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Sorry the photos aren't better. The background is black, the butterflies are red with gold overlaid.

I would love a table runner made from that gorgeous fabric.

I actually have 3 meters so was thinking more along the lines of a quilt pattern

It has an oriental look to me so I might choose a pattern like fans or lanterns.

What a beautiful fabric. I would consider showcasing it like you would a panel. Here's a couple of images that might give you some inspiration. I wish I could give proper credit, but the images are saved on my computer, and I have no idea where I downloaded them from.

Along the idea of JJBlaine to keep the fabric showcased, here is a quilt top I made with a large-scale floral fabric. The pattern is called Night Sky.

Beautiful fabric and needs to be shown in all of its glory-like the pictures shown above. All of them are beautiful.
