I have 4 fabrics that is from a fabric line that are predominantly brown with yellows, blues in the fabrics.

I'm looking for a 4 color pattern to best show the fabric colors, which I want to be the focus, not necessarily the block pattern nor quilting.

I have 2 yards of each fabric. Do any of you have suggestions? I don't want it to look scrappy though.

Thanks in advance,
Dray

Hunter's Star can be done in four colors, and the Rapid Fire rulers for it are popular and liked. I don't think they're necessary to have to make the pattern, they just make the job easier, because the blocks are a tiny bit oversized, and cut down to perfection.

Warm Wishes is another choice.

I'm surprised no one else has a recommendation for you....

Depending on the fabrics a triple 4 patch works up beautiful.

Have only lately discovered the Disappearing 4 or 9 Patch blocks and I think it's the bees knees. Another suggestion would be a lattice design, can't remember the correct block name, if the colours aren't too close.
