You might consider “Sundance” by Villa Rosa. Made it several times for charity with big prints. I believe it calls for 72” of big print but I slip in another block to make it 12 or 14” longer also add border on all 4 sides to make it bigger. Shows off the big print.

It's gorgeous! I have two ideas:
1) as mentioned before, that print is perfect for a stack & whack/ One Block Wonder quilt. I'd add a large border of the original fabric around it.
or
2) Join the next Boom swap here on the board, and see what the swappers can do with your fabric. They will each make you a 12.5" block, and you will make one for each of them, out of their fabrics. You will end up with blocks for an awesome sampler quilt!

Truly beautiful fabric. It is understandable not wanting to cut it up....but it make an even more outstanding quilt top with coordinating fabric. Whatever you decide....good luck. Sometimes I get jitters inside when I cut into certain fabric. Let the fabric speak to you and you'll come up with something amazing.
