Use that red fabric in a square in a square, with a beige background. You need about 3/4 yard to make 12 blocks. (Your red pieces will be 9" squares, and the addition of beige can make the blocks 12".) Then make another 12" block to alternate with it.

In the quilt I am making, I also wanted to showcase the large scale floral fabric, so I just put white around it, and used what is called an "Indian Square" to alternate blocks with. Not difficult.

Your other colors can be golds, beiges, olive, dark brown.
