Or you might try several shades of the same color. That works for me, as I also don't lean towards patterns or prints. Or a Bargello, like Sewnoma suggested? I also like to use a lot of white. That works well for me. Anyway, food for thought when you are ready to experiment.
If I have remembered the order right, the first it s Trip around the World, the second is a Bargello wall hanging, and the third is called First Light Log Cabin, and it is free online somewhere.
Just in case any of these spark ideas for you. I like to use precuts too, but I like to select my own fabric more.
