Default Ideas and opinions needed please!

I found a pic of this fabric online and became obsessed with it. Spent 2 days trying to find any store that wasn't sold out if it! I now have 5 yards in my possession and need to buy matching fabrics to make a quilt.

The reason for my obsession: I have a friend who is a realtor here in town that specializes in the Mid Century Modern homes. He also lives in a mid mod home and is in the process of restoring and redecorating the home. He has all this fabulous 1950s funiture and appliances, and a wonderful paint job in the house in the great colors used during that time period. I saw this fabric and wanted to make him a mid mod quilt.

Now I am trying to decide what kind of quilt pattern would look Mid Mod. The print on this fabric is kinda big so right now all I can think of is maybe a simple D9 patch with maybe the black diamond and orange dot prints used in the blocks of the 9 patch that will be cut. Any other ideas out there before I order matching fabrics?
