Beautiful fabric. I sure the day will come when you see the perfect pattern for the fabric. At least thats how it works for me.

I would stack and whack the biggest print one if I had enough repeats and make a kalediscope quilt. Then I would sash with the ball one and border with the other one. Whatever you decide you have got some beautiful fabric to work with. You can always make a D9P with it and do it on a larger scale to showcase the beautiful fabrics. Good luck!

Lots of fussy cutting and Jinny Beyer style soft curve piecing would be my solution. I think the material is glorious.

Your fabric is gorgeous.

Your 4 patch posies blocks are really beautiful. You can use the other fabric as the sashing and cornerstoners. I also woud use the medallion fabric as the outer border to show off where the inner blocks came from. Of course show us the finished quilt!!! It will be lovely!!!!

How about a BQ and fussy cut the big blocks.

I also have the same fabric and have been waiting for just the right pattern. Please be sure to post photos when you are done.

That fabric really is just too gorgeous!

Love #1 and #4, both of which have a kind of Arabian Nights look to me.

I'd probably chicken out and just use that medallion as a center panel and create coordinating blocks or borders around it. Gorgeous fabric, though! And whatever you do will be beautiful, I know.

What about a tablecloth and napkins? There is a book out that deals with large pattern prints..the name escapes me.
