    i go with this one. It is so easy, there are almost no seams to match up and the finished product is usually very interesting.
    I was going to suggest this as well.

    Have you considered a simple nine patch? The colors you mentioned would be perfect for this pattern and the Cream fabric could be used for the backing... Please show quilt when finished... Happy stitching!

    Would love to see a pic of Pieces of Eight! I love clean, uncluttered lines, too and have been thinking of a pattern to make a small table topper. Thanks!

    I recently did a quilt with rectangles and just arranged them as I saw fit. I didn't know the person really well and wasn't sure of her tastes so I wanted to do something more modern.

    The book "City Quilts" by Cherri House has 12 quilt patterns that would please a person who likes simple and refined.
