Go to the Lavender/Lime quilt web site at a store in Chatt. They have a pattern that is easy and perfect for that fabric. You have 8 1/2 inch center cut blocks (perfect for the dogs) then you strip piece the rails using the solids. It's fast (under 3 hours) and easy. They have a book for 12.95. You can also look at the class projects on this pattern and see the quilts.
The bottom/top rails are 4 1/2 inches and the side rails are 6 1/2. You sew the 4 1/2 inch strips together and then cut 2 1/2 strips. Sew on the top and bottom of the 8 1/2 block. Then sew the 6 1/2 rails together, cut 2 1/2 inches strips and sew on the sides. Your blocks are done! Sew together with the block going across and the red going the other way.
My quilt just made this pattern at the board retreat and it was so fast and cute/pretty and really shows off a fabric that you want to showcase.
