Perhaps think about this?
Make a top in these red black and white colors using a simple pattern you like.
Like a rail fence or ninepatch double irish chain...
The drama in this quilt is the colors!
Then show it to everybody involved. Finish it and give it to the ones who like it best.
Maybe somebody would like it in shades of all browns - or blues.
People who don't quilt do not appreciate the difference between a simple and complicated pattern.
