I found out my cousin has been diagnosed with cancer and will be starting chemo next week. I'd like to make him a throw. I am going on the long arm next Tuesday at quilting class, so I have to act fast. I picked the least busy, male colored pieces of fabric I had. Can I make something out of what I have? Do I need to put another color in there? This is what I have on hand. Obviously I won't use all of it, but I need some advice. I'm brave enough to tackle this in this short of time, but too inexperienced to pick out fabric.

I was thinking disappearing 9 patch. How many different pieces do I need for that?
