Looked at the fabric again and decided to cut into 12.5 blocks. Sashings, borders, and just created yet another UFO...

.
Again TY to all you guys.

Confession...when I finally get to this fabric just may go back to the panel option...lol

Do not know the exact size and how much fabric you have, but would it work to make kaleidoscope blocks, they could turn out interesting.

Warm Wishes is a great pattern for when you want to feature larger prints. It's an easy pattern, too.

I would make one of the BQ patterns. Use the pizza for The big squares and coordinates for the strips. Google Bq quilts. I like BQ 1 and BQ 2

I am so proud of myself. Found the graph paper and charted the block. Finished block is 18" and pizza fabric finishes at 12. Now need to finish one quilt and I can pull fabric. So excited.

IF you have left over fabric you could make a matching pillow case and throw pillow. Or even pot holders

I like the BG patterns. I have seen them made up and it is a group of great patterns for large scale fabrics.

I was having such a problem today drafting at BQ pattern. This pattern works best if working towards a large block like 12.5 or larger and I don't want a finished block that big. So decided to have the pizza fabric 6.5 and then a rail fence...3 strips coordinating with colors of the pizza and each block framed with black 1.5 strips. OMG...perfect! Just perfect. Only have enough pizza fab for one quilt. This is gonna be such a cool quilt.
