    I would look into the New York Beauty blocks and would also add the cream.

    Adding some tone on tone cream would be a good contrast.

    Check out this version of warm wishes. It would be simple and has a very traditional, country look.

    The patterns in the prints are big and distinctive, it might be nice t show them off as much as possible in big pattern pieces - something like Rail Fence, Economy in a large block, Puss in a Corner - again large block, you could fussy cut some of the large patterns, Delectable Mountains has two nice big triangles, you could contrast a large print with a small print or plain of the contrasting colour. Good Luck has the same big triangles but set differently; those fabric patterns are the hero(ines), I'd let them do the talking and avoid cutting them into small pieces.

    I agree that disaapearing 9 patch would work well. And it is an effective block.

    I agree, instead of the brown, use cream/off white or a darker brown for contrast. The brown is too close to the color of the other browns. Your prints are beautiful! Can't wait to see your finished project.
