I purchased these fabrics because the print with the flowers and butterflies (on the right) had my name written all over it. Then I went around the store and picked coordinating fabrics. Now I am at a loss what I should use as a pattern for the quilt. I have enough to make a king sized quilt, but I'm having a mental block trying to pick a pattern. (I have intermediate skills.) Suggestions, PLEASE! Thanks for taking the time to look at this post.
Solid Colors are Coral, Sage, Yellow & Turquoise

I would do a D9P - twist and turn version.

There is enough variety in the ways the pattern can be used that you can do almost anything with it. I would use the solids for the parts you cut up, and your favorite butterfly material, along with the roses as the squares left alone.
It is a little more complex than the standard D9P so it should be fun to do at your level.
Please show us what you wind up doing with the fabrics!

I would recommend "Diamonds Are Forever", "Hexagon Stars" or "Road To Provence" or even "My Edith Paif Quilt." You can do a quick search for these on the Quilting Board to have a good look while youre here. best Wishes, Therese
