I am mastering this slowly, but I did want to try June's suggestion of a half drop repeat with this pattern. I removed the apron, which would cause problems on the sides, and did the repeat. I can't say that I love it without the apron. It's missing a little something.
Here's what I put together to submit as my main fabric and three coordinates:

These guys didn't seem to mind the rain at all:
Things are blooming in California, and when we did see color it was amazing:
I guess I was feeling a little color deprived, because I started to look for it everywhere. There was lots to be found at Britex in San Francisco:
