I like the simple 9 patch idea, but you could also do pinwheels, have them all go the same direction and it would be a neat looking quilt, sashing or no sashing

The fabrics I have are an understated yellow pattern, with blue flowers and light green leaves on cream background, and I have cream solid.

If no one has suggested this one yet...
I just finished a "Take 5" for my Neice... it went real fast and I love the way it looks...

THANKS for the info. It was so professionally laid out. I hope to try it on my next charity quilt. If you have any additional suggestion on fabric selection, I would appreciate hearing from you.
