If you could find the book 9-Patch Pizzazz by Judy Sisneros, I think you could find a layout that would work great with doing some fussy cutting, and nine patch blocks with additional fabrics that bring the whole design togeather. Would love to see your design on the site when finished!

OBWs come to mind. But I agree that having blocks to display it would be gorgeous too! Best of luck choosing the design. It'll take time but whenit's done it will look absolutely gorgeous! Best wishes.

Hi Don....glad to see you back!!!

I think I would do a Disappearing 9 Patch with really big squares, say 8". That way you would still have the Egyptian print in large chunks. You could even make the center and 4 "side" blocks smaller so that the 4 corner Egyptian blocks really would stand out.

I was thinking backing too, that way, it's all one piece, & would be like a reversible quilt...

I would make blocks out of it with fabric to frame them with designs and save some to use as a border. Beautiful fabric, very elegant.

OMG - ladies you HAVE to check this out!!!

If you could make something like this work for this fabric it would look phenomenal!

I belong to the QuiltShow.com and they sent an email with this mosaic floor picture on it.

If you could find a scroll type border to set sections of the fabric off for center of the quilt it would look amazing!!

then use the "Stonehenge" fabric line from Northcott ...I dont know - maybe they even have coordinating scrolls??

You are going to have fun with that fabric, I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Maybe use it as a backing and have a reversible quilt? It would be a shame to cut it up into small pieces.
