pattern thoughts?
 

these are french milled, totally gorgeous fabrics.

the repeats are large and it seems an utter shame to cut them up too much. i was thinking a swoon quilt might be gorgeous, but that would definitely turn them into scraps.

do you have any quilting pattern suggestions that would compliment them? i am all ears :)

Love the fabrics but not sure of a pattern that is always my problem can't decided how to make it into a quilt.

So beautiful!!! How about cutting them into largish squares and just put them next to each other like Kaffe Fassett does? Or use a thin sashing. I wouldn't want geometry drawing any attention from the fabrics.

Hugs,

there is another book specific to big motifs, but I can't remember the name, sorry

The 'Spectre de la Rose' quilt from the site Kalama gave you would be perfect. Pretty fabrics!

How about Hole in the Barn Door? It has some larger pieces and you can use blenders to be the background.

How about a Falling Charms quilt? Only I would cut the squares 6.5" instead of 5" and cut the sashing strips 2" wide instead of 2.5". Here is a link (take a good look at the quilt hanging in the background):

This one is called Around the Twist. Imagine using greens in the twist. It would look like a rose trellis. http://anniesquiltorts.blogspot.com/...-festival.html
