Another idea would be to use the floral designs as a large center for a log cabin design, picking up colors that are in the floral design. I made one like this from a cheater panel like this and added log cabin blocks in the center to make enough blocks.

I was thinking about the 9 Patch Pizzaz (by Judy Sisneros ) when I that large print too!

Sounds like 9 patch pizzaz which would look great too.[/quote]

I also don't know what a OBW is, but if it's like the pics posted by MarjaMT, I like that idea. I was going say use the orange floral for the backing, but I like this better.
