I saw a crazy quilt just recently that was constructed from wool and velvet in a fan pattern placed on point. It was put together with fancy embroidery as it was a vintage quilt but very attractive. The bidder on ebay had only bid about $25 dollars for it since it had some damage. I was tempted to buy it to use as a pattern and a cutter. It was gorgeous. Some of the fabric was in suiting colors and then there were accent pieces in bright velvets. Really lovely. You might check and see if it is still showing to check out this for ideas.
