You can also find tutorials on YouTube for projects using his fabrics.
Of course Pinterest is another source of inspiration.

Look up “Stacked Coins” quilt on yahoo or google. That would be very pretty with a gray background and all those batiks. Also, an “Irish Chain” would be pretty using the batiks for the centers and corners and the gray for the cardinal points (the other four pieces of the nine patches it is made from) and background. Either one would give you a nice modern looking quilt using those colors. Eleanor’s Burns has separate patterns for each of these.
Where do you ladies buy them that maybe runs a sale some times??

I have only seen KF books, never individual patterns.
There is a pattern that might work in Judy Hopkins' book, Triangle Free Quilts (pub. That Patchwork Place, 2002). You sew assorted width strips together into units, then cut widths of 6, 4, 3 1/2, and 2 1/2 inches from half of them, and 8, 5 1/2, and 4 inches from the other half.
The quilt alternates long bars of these six widths with assorted width bands of a coordinating fabric, then puts a couple more pieced bands above and below, and adds a border of the coordinate.
