    Suzanne, go to this site quiltingwithroxanne.com and look at her pattern Magic Carpet. I was checking that site last night and this pattern is for large prints you don't want to cut up very much. If you can't get there from what I gave you, type in Stars on parade quilt pattern and go to page 4 of her site. Anxious to see what you come up with. Good luck.

    I had a collection of fabrics from a large-print line & was stumped. I ran across a pattern called "Pieces o' Eight" (squares cut into 8 1/2" and pieced together. Really fast and allowed the prints to pop out, instead of competing with the cut pieces of the pattern. It came out great.

    They remind me of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, so maybe find a pattern designed for his fabrics.

    Good luck and have fun.
    Or check some of the patterns featured in Mark Lupinski's quilts, he has a penchant for large prints also at times.

    What about just white fabrick with rectangles throughout. That way it is all about each of the fabrics and simple for you. ;)

    My grand-daughters would love this fabric. Thanks for showing it. I'm going to get some and make either the Ginger Bliss or the Lotus Brick Path Quilt shown in the free pattern section for next Christmas.
