Love the orange fabric so I have to ask, where did you find it? I can see it in a Kaleidoscope. But some of the other suggestions are good too. I am working on a French Braid and it might work up great as the focal fabric in that. Keep the Board posted on your progress.

do not have pattern in minds for blocks.. would need help!!

This is what I did with some big flower patterns......It is a easy one and looks great when done.

applique is right, that is what it is called, I never remember it, because the girls always call it a potato chip quilt. They turn out so beautiful, and two people using the exact same material come out with totally different quilts. This is also a very fast and easy quilt.

I can see making a 9-patch with the green and orange or green and beige and using the large floral as an alternate block (fussy-cut). That would look pretty and you can adjust the size of the 9-patch to the size of the feature (or vice-versa).
