    Walk About could be a good pattern for your fabric. https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop...-quilt-pattern.

    You want any pattern with large pieces. If cut into small pieces you'll lose some of the beauty because the butterflies won't be identifiable.

    Thank you quilting sisters. Feel free to add your suggestions as I won't be starting this for quite some time.

    That is a sweet pattern for fussy cutting or to showcase special fabric. TFS

    Another nice pattern to showcase beautiful fabric. What luck I am having today finding patterns for many of my special fabrics. Thanks everyone.

    I have a pattern "Imagine This" designed by Ann Lauer of Grizzly Gulch Gallery (www.GrizzlyGulchGallery.com) It is perfect for showcasing beautiful fabric. I am going to use this pattern for a raffle quilt for my local dog park fundraiser. The pattern has large sashed center rectangles and smaller (skinnier) side rectangles that show off the focus fabric. A twin uses 1-7/8 yd of the focus fabric and the full & queen sizes uses 3-1/4.
