Not a complete loss

There may be another, brighter quilt inspired by this fabric. I am
thinking a 60 degree inklingo diamond star shape may be in the works.

Wise words spoken.
Be patient... the right fabric is... somewhere.

i think you should put a drawing of one of your daughters in the middle. kind of like a silhouette. or your mother. or aunt. or you!

Have you tried looking at drapery or upholstery cottons? I found a pretty drapery cotton with a huge chintz in it once and used it as the centre for something (sheesh, I can't even remember what!).
The idea of a silhouette in the centre is fabulous too -- how Jane Austen!

this looks great...
hmmm have to think about that center fabric
do you have a calico corners near you?
go check out their fabrics for draperies....
or even a store that carries Waverly fabrics a great bird fabric would look nice.
I do like the idea of your daughters silhouettes in the center though.
