It is a new version by the same creator of the original "Garden Twist" pattern and it has very large on-point blocks of a large floral print alternating with pinwheel blocks and with rows of on-point small-ish squares between the blocks. I got my catalog yesterday and it is on the front cover. If you want to see it, go to Keepsake Quilting.com or call 1-800-865-9458 and ask them to send you their catalog, volume 23. It is a fabulous looking quilt and it wouldn't be necessary to do the fancy-schmancy stuff that's in the border. It looks easy to make. The biggest drawback that I can see (using your fabric) is that her flowers are on a white background which blend into white squares & triangles for the other blocks, etc.
I'd not see the white areas as a drawback - just substitute black for those areas. You'll have a striking quilt, I think.

A western theme quilt with orange, rust and brown with natural muslin for the light would work. I made pillows for my couch with these fabrics.

I love the fabric - how much of it do you have? Don't cut it into little pieces.

If enough, make wide borders with it (or use it on the back) and pick up the colors from it for the blocks.

I have about 4 yards. I hate to cut it.
