Oh, wow! I agree with "maine ladybug" that I would consider using the stripe for a border. If I had these fabrics, I think I would search for some blues and black (is black the background color in the 2nd fabric from the top?). I can visualize center blocks made from the top 2 fabrics, blues and black. Adding a narrow black border. Then using the 2 stripes from the striped fabric to make it appear it has 2 wider borders. Miter the corners on the striped border. Maybe bind in black? Just some thoughts. These are stunning fabrics. Have fun!

The bottom piece is a stripe. I am wondering about finding a blue that matches the blue in the stripes to use with these pieces? I really have no particular pattern in mind. I've been looking at these for a couple of weeks and decided to go to my favorite people for some ideas. Thanks for your input.
