A Real Challenge!

My Brown Bag Quilt Contest exchange fabric came from Micki in Ireland.
This will be a real challenge for me because these are not fabrics I usually work with. However, I think they are the makings of a winning quilt. 
The rules are that I have to use 90% of the 'ugly' fabric I am given and can add as much fabric from my stash as I want. 
I can only buy one new fabric.
Here is what I have come up with from my stash so far.  
The red  and black fabric is the 10% I will put aside.  The grey and green will get used in the backing.
Now to come up with a pattern to use and one new fabric that will be the 'sparkler.
Stay tuned.
