    I love this fabric but I cannot for the life of me visualize a pattern for it. If it "speaks" to you, please let me know what it says. :)> Thanks

    The colors do not come through as bright as they are in real life, but the 4 solids exactly match colors in the floral stripe.

    I personally ONLY use striped fabrics in a border. So I'd be choosing a block pattern only for those pretty marble fabrics..then add the strip as sashing and borders!

    My first thought was to use the solids in a block and the stripe in sashing and borders. Beautiful fabrics. Anything you do it will be beautiful.

    How about a "strip-y" quilt with the flowers as sashings?
    Beautiful fabrics too!

    How wide is each floral stripe in the print fabric? If it was me, I would be trying to cut the floral part for the center of stars , use the blenders for the star points, and then cut the small floral strips and the paisley strips for sashing and borders, but again ,I tend to think of the hard way to get things done, so take this with a grain of salt from a beginner quilter :)

    The floral is 3.75" the other 2 stripes are 2" each.
    Good idea.

    Fussy cut those stripes and then make traditional log cabins with coordinating fabric as the light side. I saw this on Fons and Porter just this morning. Looked super, although they did their center cut as a diamond rather than a square. A bit detailed for me but beautiful in any event. Post what you end up doing and good luck.
