Need Pattern Suggestions for Focus Fabric (with a couple of accent fabrics)
I have a few beautiful focus fabrics that I wouldn't want to cut up small, and just a couple of coordinating fabrics to go with each. I would love some suggestions for good patterns to use featuring a focus fabric. Any and all suggestions welcome! Post photos and links if you have them... Thanks!

My go-tos are Warm Wishes and D9P. Both great for focus fabrics. With D9P, you have to be careful if your focus fabric is directional, and I like to use three coordinating fabrics rather than two, so you don't get the "cross" that always reminds me of something else (but that's just me).

How about Tropical by Cozy Quilt Company...I'm going to use this one for some of the Hawaii fabric I purchased. You can watch a video of how this quilt is made on You Tube. I watched it and it's easy peasy...
