Very pretty fabric!

How about using the floral for the center of a french braid strip? Not the style in my avatar, but like the table runners with the square in the middle and strips going off of that.

I love those fabrics! Right off I thought stack n whack or OBW! But log cabin would be stunning too. Good luck and keep us posted.

do not have pattern in minds for blocks.. would need help!!

This is what I did with some big flower patterns......It is a easy one and looks great when done.

I have a hard time cutting up gorgeous fabric like that. I want to be able to admire a fairly big section of it.

You could do the Disappearing 9 Patch with the large print in the corners of the original 9 patch. Those are so versatile, and come out looking great!!
