Hi QuiltNan, pic attached showing the size of the pattern. As you can see its a sizable pattern.

Stunning fabric! No pattern thoughts, though.

I wonder if you could isolate one large repeat of the design, and create a "medallion" out of it for the very center of your quilt, then do coordinating borders, like medallion quilts? That fabric is absolutely yummy!

that is a really nice piece of fabric....be sure to post the finished product!!! Sorry I don't have any suggestions though!

Large prints like this make the prettiest "Stack 'n' Whack" quilts. You need eight repeats of the pattern to do that. A little over four yards will be enough for an 18 in. repeat. And you'll have enough left to make a really nice border to show the pattern of the original fabric.

These are my favorite colors to make a quilt with too. I, like so many others, would want to keep it as whole as possible to make the bed quilt. The accent turquoise should be darker than the print turquoise so the print would be the one to shine when the finished quilt is done. That would take it to the background and allow the fabric to be the star of the top.

I agree with rogue quilter. Select a pattern that allows you to use the design as a focus block. I would select colors that allow the feather and paisley to "dance."

I found this, so beautiful...you might be able to use your fabric in this pattern...along with some complimentary fabrics to go with it...maybe even find the center panel...

Maybe the fabric just needs to age in your stash for a bit? I've found that trying to force a certain fabric or pattern rarely works. When I'm inspired is when things work out best for me.

With such a large design, I'd use a pattern that would feature the beautiful fabric in each square. Can't find the one I'm thinking of right now. But this gave me an idea https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...:&vet=1&w=1000
Use your design in the center an duse the colors of the design in the sashing squares
