How about a large Log Cabin pattern using the set of 3 palm trees as the center square and then pull from the colors as a guide for the light & dark strips. Then use the dark/navy blue as a border strip to tie all the squares together. Just another thought . . . I'm sure whatever you choose will be beautiful! :)

I would try this one if I this fabric, and do a 'summer quilt' with a light batting. I love the Log Cabin pattern!

I can picture Dresden cuts with these trees ending up looking like fireworks against a night sky

How about "Just Can't Cut It!" or maybe get "Beautiful Quilts from Big Prints"

If I wanted to keep as much of the motif as possible I would use my quilt I call "Story Quilt" It uses large squares, rectangles etc to show off the design. Pic attached.
