Is there a quilt I can make that would do these justice?

Wish I had that fabric to make a spiral lonestar quilt for my queen sized bed.

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!

I agree about the OBW or even better just mail them to me would be even better.

I too agee with the OBW but the one thing wrong is, they should only be mailed to me. Seriously they are gorgeous so whatever you do I'm sure it will be gorgeous. DOn't forget to let us know what the finished product looks like

I was thinking BQ quilt too. It showcases the fabrics so well.

I suggest you look at a couple of Kaffe Facett's quilt books. He uses very busy and bright fabrics together to create stunning effects. You might get some ideas there.
