A bargello would work well or a trip around the world pattern.

I didn't know Hoffman made 7" squares available. Is this something new?

Actually it is, if you cut it into 4 pieces you have 3-1/2" squares - perfect for a 9" 9Patch.

I'd cut each one in quarters so that I had 3 1/2" squares and do a Twister and have the colors move in and out in a gradation of color. A Trip Around The Wirld would be nice to move the colors in and out as well or a Bargello.

The blooming 9-patch was my first thought, too!

What about doing a French Braid. That would be beautiful in those colors.

THANK YOU for the warning. I had in mind that this might be the first quilt I make with unwashed fabric, since prewashing little squares seemed difficult. Now I know that this fabric will be wet before ever going into a finished project.

costume girl - your description of rippling water sounds just like what I would love to make. I'm very drawn to quilts in which the colours blend so well that by the time the change is really noticeable there have been several gradations between.
