what would you do with these fabrics?
#23
Beautiful fabrics and great score! If you do decide to cut the fabrics, I would join the two halves of the circle and use it as a center medallion. Then find coordinating fabrics for a pieced border.

Please remember, the original question is what "I" would do:
The first one, being a really interesting African print, first I would slice each of the qtr circle parts into 3 wedges, that would give me 6. Then, out of the remaining brown, and maybe with some additional browns, blacks, and maybe using a french braid type pattern on them I'd cut enough wedges to make a circle. That would be the center of my quilt. I would add maybe some log cabin blocks at the corners and make a rectangle/square, and border it with animal prints fabrics, maybe in some type of zig zag pattern. Then I'd FMQ basenjis all over it! I would use some copper metallic thread for some of it
I'd make it really busy, as that's how basenjis are
Now, what do I suggest you do? Let your imagination go, and let your creative side have fun!
The second one? My brain's too tired after all that creative thinking - I have nothing

you don't say how large the fabric is however it reminds me of the fabrics used for an African wrap dress or sarong. This is a whole fabric dress which is wrapped and tied around the body. It's very cool and comfortable.
