I also think those are two stunning D9P quilts. The only difference I see from the usual pattern is the addition of sashing between the blocks with the colored cornerstones to pick up that bit of color from the center squares.

Blacks and grays would be stunning in a bargello, too, if you have enough variety in the values. Or add some solid black, gray or white and go with a really modern design. There are hundreds of patterns that would showcase those fabric colors and prints. Try doing a Google image search of black and gray quilts for ideas.

how about Fire Escape? Its a Terri Atkinson pattern. Her patterns are clear, easy and look much harder than they are! My fave kind!
