Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions. I guess I had brain freeze from all of the snow. I just never thought of using those colors together. I decided to do a Log Cabin for my daughter-in-law and a Chisholm Trail for my son (they're Texans). Their 20th anniversary is next year and I think I'll do a sampler with the other suggestions. Not a coherent plan yet but Fence Rail and Pinwheels and I don't know what else.
Thanks also to Kathyaire who sent me a pic of a quilt that I'm going to make in Christmas colors (one of these years).
