    I would fussy cut squares from the large print, then border them with a green or pink fabric that reads solid. I'd use one of the geometrics for sashing and the other for the backing. One thing I would do, is fussy cut the geometric used for the sashing, making sure that I kept the pattern straight rather than just cutting length-wise or width-wise strips. The print is so strong on both the geometrics, it may be distracting if they are cut off pattern.

    What gorgeous fabrics. You might consider cutting a VERY large square of the floral print to serve as the center for a medallion style quilt. Then bring in some of the yellow and green and add concentric borders of 4-patches, pinwheels, etc., and maybe a final wide border of the floral print again. I adore large-scale floral prints, but then I never know how to cut them up and use them!

    I would use the large print for a center panel and then using the other two for borders. The print is to large to really cut up into pieces. Multiple borders can be added to make the quilt top as big as you want. A green and yellow HST as an idea for one border, etc. I like the idea of making a bag with the large print, using one for the trim and the other for the lining.....oh the possibilities!!!!! Good Luck in making a decision . Whatever you make will be beautiful!!

    I saw D9P too, with maybe pink or brown as your center square, depending on which color you want to bring out. OR WarmWishes.

    Pretty; I think it would make a great tote bag, laptop bag or something of that sort. The colors are great. I can't wait to see what you make of them.
