Love the fabrics you chose.
An idea: use the floral strips as squares on point alternating with 4 or 9 patches of the marbled fabric as the light and squares of the small floral as the dark.
Pick one more fabric or one of the marbles as setting triangles.
Use the paisley as the alternating strips.
Be a nice bright quilt in a very traditional setting.
Check out Bobbie A Aug's vertical quilts book for more ideas.
Love that book. Also love the log cabin blocks idea.
It's going to be gorgeous no matter what you do. And looking at that spectacular avatar, it's hard to imagine you ever being stuck for an idea.
Glad it happens to everyone, even the most accomplished. There's still hope for me LOL!
Happy quilting!

Tube blocks?

Instead of sewing 2 1/2" strips, just cut strips the width of the stripe, then cut a plain strip the same width. You could get a mitered block!
