I'm probably thinking of this because it is what I'm working on right now:

http://blog.fabshophop.com/blog/inde...-with-a-quilt/

If you click on the 'a walk in the woods' photo, a free pdf with directions pops up.
IMO, it would work well with these fabrics if a sold or 2 was added to the mix

I did make a small change though. I did not cut the rectangles until after they are joined because of the bias

Love your fabrics and a D9P is a good pattern for your fabrics. With an off white would be the way I would go.

A chevron pattern with a cream solid would show off this fabric, the fabric is stunning therefore you do not want a "fussy" pattern. Keep it simple whatever you do as the fabric is vibrant enough.

I wonder how many quilters choose the fabric first? And how many choose the fabric first?
Sometimes the fabric chooses you! And the next thing you know you are going from shop to shop putting together everything you need and then some. Fabric bliss. This could end up being two quilts, what with all the great fabric Louise has come up with!

Cant wait to see how it plays out!

I really like the quilts with black backgrounds too. Try a piece of black next to those fabrics and see what happens. I think black will really bring those colors out with a stained glass effect. I agree with the others, your fabrics are bold enough that I think a simple pattern is best too.
Just my opinion,

How about a chevron quilt. I think there is a free pattern out there for one called Zig Zag or something like that.

I have been playing around with EQ7 some, besides D4P & D9P layouts
came up with the following 2 so far.

Of course they are not in the actual fabrics but as close as I can get with
what EQ7 offers (I don't want to scan in my fabrics).
