Any idea on a pattern that will look good with bright rainbow colors?

A Double Wedding Ring Quilt would be beautiful. A light colored fabric for the background w/bright colors for the Wedding Rings. I bought a book called: "Rings That Bind" by Cheryl Phillips & Linda Pysto. I ordered the plastic stencils as well though their site at a discount price. Check out this video of how it is made. It looks easy, but have not tried it yet.

You did not say whether they were male or female, but my gay children (DD and friends, who are here painting my house), suggested a rainbow colored background, with the gay couple's symbol in the center. (two male, or two female symbols.)

The double wedding ring in Rainbow colors is great, but that pattern scares me. If it is too complicated for you, how about a blooming 9 patch?
The pattern comes from a book called traditions with a twist. I made one in rainbow colors, and it was striking. I don't have a picture of mine but here is a link to a blog with a picture.
