REALLY... wow, do you have any pic's?

I did have pictures but were deleted, at some point I start deleting photos from my documents so as not slow down the speed and storage on my PC.
As a matter of fact, I mailed out some scraps to a member on here and a large piece of that blue was included with her scraps.
Coincidental.

I think I'd go toward an Asian pattern. That's nice fabric.

I think that butterfly in the round would be wonderful.

You could do a Turning Twenty. It takes big blocks.

How about a column quilt where you use a strip of fabric, as wide as you want, say 12", the length of the quilt, and then a column of say, flying geese in the coordinating colors, then another strip of fabric etc...

oh wow! I have a small piece of that fabric and treasure it. I don't remember where I got it but I just love it. I used a little on the back of a small quilt(made it back around 85) and just can't cut into the rest. lol How nice that you picked it up at a flea market.It is a vintage material btw. Not new . even though the colors are right up there with the ones floating around today. Enjoy!!

here is a photo which might help explain what I mean

Do you think that would work with only three colors?

Yes, I definately do think it would work with just 3 colors because there is so much "color" in the large print. Lay the two colors around the print and see what you think.
