This isn't your colors, but could accommodate any colors. My daughter saw a quilt similar to this on Pinterest and we tried to figure out the pattern. Two dyslexic people sewing on the same quilt, several seams ripped, "haha", but the results was better than I expected.

Edited to add: We made 2 stratas of 10 different shading fabrics per WOF, 3.5 inches wide. One strata was purples, blues and greens and the other was reds, golds and pinks. The largest width is 3 inches finished. Then we varied the cutting by 1/4". Our quilt did not turn out like the title of the one we admired....Ricky Timms Rhapsody, but it was fairly close. We discovered that we probably should have made the fabrics on each end of the fabrics as a 4.5 inch cut, so it finished at 4 or 4.5 inches. That way, maybe some of them would not have matched up quite so evenly. Jacob, the 17 year old young man loved his Christmas quilt. He is tall, so we made sure it was longer then 78 inches. I don't remember what we finished at, but it was a lot of fun. We filled in with the black background fabric to fill out to the width and length we wanted. We wanted the center to be the focus, so we didn't add any contrasting borders.
