I went to a local fabric sale and bought a host of wonderful fabrics, all well known like Moda, Fabric Freedom etc. and I had 4 of which didn't really go with the pattern I wanted and this was them:
So I had a deep "thunk" and explored Quilters Cache and decided on the Woven Ribbon block

I am quite pleased with the result, looks quilt Modern and in your face but I can live with that
I think it is going to be quite a favourite although it is outside my comfort zone
