Not sure if the pics show true colors but I'm look'n for a pattern suggestion that will best display this fabric. I just hate to end up w/another quilt I don't like....

The black is much deeper black than the picture shows.... I really like the fabrics & want to make something really nice. I don't use quilt shop quality fabric that much because it's so expensive.... my last attempt was very disappointing to me.
You ladies are so good at turning your fabrics it not beautiful quilts, I thought maybe you all could help me pick a quilt design that would turn these three fabrics in to something really special.
Thanks in advance.

Check out Jinny Beyer's website. She has some very simple patterns but her use of fabrics make them look difficult. Even some of her 9-patch blocks sparkle because of fabric placement. Your fabrics are beautiful so (IMHO) I would keep the block pattern simple. Good luck-let us know what you decide.

How wide are the broad strips in the one with the red background? If they are wide enough I would fussy cut it so as to take full advantage of the interesting design. I see two different pattern variation squares you could utilize. First cut on the light green stripe between the two black stripes to make strips. Then cut one set of strips at the large black dots and the other set of strips at the small black dots. You will have to figure out how seam allowances fit into this mix, so you may not end up with as many squares as you might expect!) but it would be a really nice showcase of this gorgeous fabric. Then you can use your other two fabrics as sashing/borders around your focal squares.
