I agree. I can see the one on the left combined with a white for the 2 color block and then a narrow border of the purple in the butterfly print and then the butterfly print as a wide border.

Try a pattern called "Four Fun" by Mountainpeek Creations. Its strip pieceing and done in different sizes of four patches. It makes a great quilt and is fast and easy.

There is definately a little purple swirling through the butterfly fabric. I like all your suggestions so I think I will probably take my fabric to a LQS and see what I might find to match. Keep the ideas coming!
