I love this fabric but I cannot for the life of me visualize a pattern for it. If it "speaks" to you, please let me know what it says. :)> Thanks
The colors do not come through as bright as they are in real life, but the 4 solids exactly match colors in the floral stripe.

How wide is each floral stripe in the print fabric? If it was me, I would be trying to cut the floral part for the center of stars , use the blenders for the star points, and then cut the small floral strips and the paisley strips for sashing and borders, but again ,I tend to think of the hard way to get things done, so take this with a grain of salt from a beginner quilter :)

Fussy cut those stripes and then make traditional log cabins with coordinating fabric as the light side. I saw this on Fons and Porter just this morning. Looked super, although they did their center cut as a diamond rather than a square. A bit detailed for me but beautiful in any event. Post what you end up doing and good luck.
