Some of the fabric on the bottom look like African material. I am in the process of making a quilt with African cloth. I am using the "snowball" pattern as then I can get the benefit of the cloth design with a plain material setting it off. I haven't finished it yet, but I think I am going to reqally like it.

I've been contemplating doing Around the Twist with big snowball blocks to showcase some floral fabric that's not nearly as nice as yours!
