You've given us no idea what style of quilt you like, but if it were me, I'd go with something like Storm at Sea, maybe adding some red as a heart outline as is so often seen, or something dimensional (optical illusion-ish) if the fabrics are right.

Blacks and grays would be stunning in a bargello, too, if you have enough variety in the values. Or add some solid black, gray or white and go with a really modern design. There are hundreds of patterns that would showcase those fabric colors and prints. Try doing a Google image search of black and gray quilts for ideas.
