I love Spanish Tiles! I have the pattern, fabrics for it - just need the time :)

Here's a link to a quilt that showcases large cuts - I've made this, it's quick, easy, impressive.

I do not have any large print fabric, but looking at these different quilts using large scale prints will just have to pick one up when I see the one that strikes my fancy!!

I would use the focal print as a snowball block and alternate with a pieced block of your choice.

This is what came to mind for me, too. I'm partial to Snowball blocks alternated with nine patches. You can make the center of the snowball block as large as needed for the focus fabric.

If anyone has a pattern for a block or whole quilt using a big block I would like to see it. I am happy to purchase a pattern if anyone can direct me to one.

Pick a pieced block you like and chose color to match your flower.

I like the diagonal movement of this one:
