Welcome to the Quilting Board!
here is the material I have I want to do a patriotic quilt. Any suggestions?
Keep Calm and Get
The Seam Ripper
Rail fence with the print as the center strip--simple, but it would show off the fabrics well.
Courtesy is not optional.

Love your fabric and your house keeping hint. That works for me. LOL
Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.
The Disappearing Hourglass pattern makes a nice stár block. You could use the white with small stars as the background and use the two other fabrics as the contrast colour. Several DHG quilts have been posted on QB.
Variable Star with the white as the center block, the blue as the star points.
I promise not to buy any more fabric until I see something I really like. Or it's on sale. Or I think it might match something.
Disappearing 9 patch, Warm Wishes.
DP9 I made.
DP9 in my ideas file. Different layout.
"Proud Parent of an American Airman"
How about one from the Quilts of Valor page http://www.qovf.org/patterns-list.html
I am currently working on a Hunter's Star with red, white, and blue. I think it looks great. You might want to try it, but you'd need a Rapid Fire Hunter's Star ruler. I think it's well worth the investment.
Fons and Porter Love of Quilting March 2015 issue has a Fag of Freedom quilt that would be great for your prints
Here's a few of my quilts of valor.Both quilts are Villa Rosa Designs patterns. #1 is "Polka". It can be done with 3 fabrics, I needed to use up lots of scraps. #2 quilt is called, "Saratoga", I've done this quilt in red,white and blue also. Both quilts are very simple to piece.
You can find more patterns on the website. http://www.villarosadesigns.com/
