    I think I would showcase those orange flowers (which are beautiful, BTW) in an Attic Window pattern.

    I think the magical slice and dice would work great! Yours is just awesome! Love the black and white. I have done two One Block Wonders and have fabric purchased for two more. You really need arepeat of at least 24 inches to get the best effect with those. How big is the repeat of your orange flowers? And heck, if you can't decide what to do with it, you can always send it to me! LOL! It is so pretty.

    Do you have enough of the orange flower for a border? That would be pretty with your log cabin theme.

    I'd use the flower for wide borders.

    I think the fabrics would be a stunning braid with the orange being gorgeous center diamonds.

    What great fabric! IF it was mine (I wish!), I would want to keep the large floral print for large pieces/blocks and a wide border; you certainly have enough of it to do that. You can get some great ideas browsing through catalogs, magazines and on-line quilt pattern sites. I believe that you will find the perfect one and know it when you see it.

    To: MarjaMT -- I love your quilts with the floral centers! These gave me an idea for a baby quilt from some fabric I've been trying to choose a pattern for. Do you mind if I'm a copycat?
