A pattern that's easy but looks complicated

this is a nice looking quilt. I didn't have any trouble piecing it. You get the illusion of circles with no curved piecing. Use Tri-recs rulers for the 'peaky' star points or use Mary's paper piecing.

I want something where I can work on color selection and accurate sewing rather than advanced shapes that incorporate more advance sewing skills.

Thank you. That makes it a little easier to make suggestions. Have you checked out maryquilts.com or quiltville.com?
They both have wonderful free patterns and examples of simple yet complex looking patterns with very easy to comprehend instructions.

Also, I've found that using busier prints on simpler patterns also makes the quilt look more complicated than it was.

I want to study some of the colorways to see how to set them up for maximum effect. Thanks!
