Default Quilt block idea

Hi all. I'm looking for a pattern or block idea. I'm using a fabric line in which I want each fabric in the line to be easily visible. Any ideas are welcome! Thanks!

I was just looking at Disappearing Hourglass. There's a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt Co.

A modern square in a square would showcase the fabrics.

How many fabrics in the line? I was thinking about a Turning 20. When I did one using Halloween fabrics and did a sashing between them to let the fabrics stand out more. (Wish I had a picture of it, but didn't think to do it before giving it away.)

Wish you had told us the fabric line. Have you thought of Falling Charms by MSQC?? You don't have to cut the squares 5", I usually cut them at 6.5"

Thought of another one - a large Twister, which uses 10 inch blocks. Without knowing the line and the designs on the fabric it is hard to really come up with a suggestion.

The fabric is Lourdes Sanchez for Timeless Treasures, pattern 5410, I think it's called botanical. :-)

I love this one, it's one of my ideas! In your picture you're using two fabrics, does it work with more variety?
