The one I like best is treated much like an Asian print quilt, where the central peacock is isolated in an offset panel, and other panels showcase different portions of the main print.
    When you say "offset", do you mean off center?
    See my post above about 9-patch pizazz quilts. I think that's what she means.

    I love this fabric, so beautiful! Lots of good ideas on what to use it for.

    It would be a perfect fabric for this pattern:

    I have been told that also. But it is not true. Some of the best OBW I have seen had lots of open background.

    I love this fabric. I love anything Peacock. You should buy any and all of it. That of course is my opinion. lol

    That is gorgeous fabric. It would make a nice OBW but, man, I'd hate to cut it!!

    Hoffman is also going to be coming out with a peacock collection. I think I will need to see that one, too, so I can decide which one I like better! (And no, it's not on their site yet. I think they will debut it at Market this weekend.)
    I want the Hoffman. It is shown on page 7 in the special advertising section of the December Quilter's World. It is beautiful.

    I have been in love with this fabric from the first time I saw it. I plan on purchasing some to make a quilt for me.

    I love them. I would make something out of them for sure. Maybe fussy cut or applique.
