Check out a pattern called "Sidelights." The problem using this for an OBW, is I'm guessing the repeat is quite large. You'd have to buy alot of yardage to get 4 or 6 repeats. That's ok if you're going to make a very large quilt. But I think it would be a gorgeous OBW, also.

I Love that fabric!!! It would be hard for me to cut that up. Think I would make very big boxes of the pattern framed with black....

Cut 1 or 2 peacocks and create a panel. Make some different block borders in complimentary colors and keep doing that until it is the size you prefer. Or as suggested the OBW would be a good idea as well. How about a QB2 pattern which looks best with a bold print? It's beautiful fabric! Good Luck and would love to see what you decide to do with the fabrics.

I have been looking for a really pretty peacock fabric for a while. I will definitely be on the lookout for this. Would make a beautiful backing for a quilt or tote bag or maybe even a top to wear.
