I have to add my 2 cents. Don't make this beautiful fabric into a OBW. I see many large 1 piece blocks in it, fussy cut and separated with black, blue or silver-gray fabric (not sashing), it would be stunning. It would look like one of Paula Nadelstern's Kaleidescope quilts without all the work!

or a panel quilt. Can’t find a good link. Alex Anderson did some nice orientals in panels. Another idea would be to fussy cut and use large blocks without too many small cuts to distract from the design. Or, even, a whole cloth with perhaps a series of sparkle borders, print, border, print, border, binding.

Whew!!! You all came up with great ideas, and since I have 5 yards of this, just maybe I will do both, OBW and solid. This one is going to have to sit awhile longer I think!!
Thanks for all you great ideas and I am definitely listening!
