How would you use this fabric? (Red Roses)

The roses are gorgeous! I would think though that since she picked out THAT fabric, it should really take center stage with the quilt. The simpler, the better. What about the simple stripes of that fabric, rather wide, and thinner strips of coordinating black and green? If you want to get fussy, bind the outside with black and green stripes and put small HST between the border stripes or...really wacky...OBWs between the outside stripes. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...I can see it now..............gorgeous!

I didn't expect her to choose this fabric as the feature so I'm coming up short on ideas.
Looking for suggestions, please!

1) you could base it on the song "the rose" that Bette Midler sang, if you hear the song or get the words,its about love, roses coming up thru the snow, cut out indivdual roses , have them look like their comimg up thru the snow.
better yet(this fun i dont have to make it but i could) all black background with lots of individual roses,and just a general shape of cuts with wide bright eyes peering thru the roses. they could be looking at the pretty butterflies you will(ofcourse hand sew :roll: ) also the music notes are good they could be over the cats, like the were whiseling :thumbup: what do you think.
we could all go to your fabric store and help you
