Yes, I love the kaleidoscope idea for the orange floral print. And you'll have plenty for a generous border.

Lovely fabric. I like the OBW idea with some of the other materials as the background.

How about a 4 Patch Posy? It would show off the different flowers in that fabric and not be as time consuming as the OBW.

this might sound off the wall but how about using the big floral material in the middle of the quilt and make log cabin blocks with the blend and colors that are in the floral all around the big floral block and if you have any of the floral left over to make a border
wow did my imagination take off !!!

I think a log cabin quilt would be beautiful!!!!!! You have lots of floral fabric so use some for the borders too and that would show off those wonderful orange florals. And I love the bright orange as the center square of the log cabin block. Extra floral fabric for pillows maybe???? Wonderful colors!!!! dani
