I just saw your piggy fabric, made me smile, used to hand raise orphan pigs when we lived in the country. A great way to show off a large section of print would be to make "Flip A Coin", a pattern I saw on a Fons and Porter show. You cut the focus fabric anywhere from 7 to 10 inch wide strips and as long as you want the quilt, say you choose 9 inch wide strip of focus fabric and 80" long to leave room for a border, on either side of that strip goes a striped coordinating fabric, 3 inches wide, on either side of the striped fabric go a strip of the "coins", solids and/or prints that catch a color in the focus fabric or could be scrappy. They cut them about 2 inches long and 3 1/2 wide. Just pick the sizes that suit you. You just repeat this unit til your quilt is as wide as needed. You could use piggies again in the border.
Hope I have explained it well enough to make you "see" it. Looks really simple, I plan to use a gorgeous large floral I discovered to make this quilt, would work for any fabric you want to be the main event!
