    Beautiful fabric. I sure the day will come when you see the perfect pattern for the fabric. At least thats how it works for me.

    I would stack and whack the biggest print one if I had enough repeats and make a kalediscope quilt. Then I would sash with the ball one and border with the other one. Whatever you decide you have got some beautiful fabric to work with. You can always make a D9P with it and do it on a larger scale to showcase the beautiful fabrics. Good luck!

    Lots of fussy cutting and Jinny Beyer style soft curve piecing would be my solution. I think the material is glorious.

    Your 4 patch posies blocks are really beautiful. You can use the other fabric as the sashing and cornerstoners. I also woud use the medallion fabric as the outer border to show off where the inner blocks came from. Of course show us the finished quilt!!! It will be lovely!!!!

    I also have the same fabric and have been waiting for just the right pattern. Please be sure to post photos when you are done.

    Love #1 and #4, both of which have a kind of Arabian Nights look to me.

    I'd probably chicken out and just use that medallion as a center panel and create coordinating blocks or borders around it. Gorgeous fabric, though! And whatever you do will be beautiful, I know.

    What about a tablecloth and napkins? There is a book out that deals with large pattern prints..the name escapes me.
