I used a similar fabric for a quilt and curtains for my sewing room. I put a large square of the biggest print in the center and put a contrasting Sashing around the square and worked from there with two other medium sized prints. The key was to not use small pieces. It turned out great and I love it more than most of the quilts I have made with a bagillion little pieces.

I alternated the finished blocks.
This is still unfinished. I'm planning to put a border on, but I think it could be nice without.
You could use a layer cake and a jelly roll also. That would make a large quilt.

You could do a large square D9P making the starting squares in your 9P at 5-6" so you are cutting a 15-18" square and will have good sized pieces still after cutting the 9P. It would still showcase your fabrics and would really go fast in making the top!! You would only need 3 or 4 across and 4 or 5 down.

Here is a quilt that I am working on for a high school senior. It is a signature quilt that her friends can sign.
