Sometimes that is the hardest part. Sometimes the fabric tells you how it wants to be pieced. :lol: I hate it when the fabric isn't talking.

Coordinating colors and picking patterns is very hard for me, it always has been. That is probably why I like to make scrap quilts so much.

How about the quilt by sewnsewer2, ( I hope I got your name right). I have made that quilt 4 times, it is a large quilt and goes together really fast.

I don't know where to locate it it the posts.

I vote for Happy Block. I made a similar quilt for my Dad with novelty fabrics that reminded me of him - firefighter, hunter, bowler, etc. Because the novelties were so many different colors, I tied them all together by putting a cream tone on tone in all the blocks. I made my Mom's quilt using a slightly different pattern that also worked well with the novelty fabrics.

Tried to attach the pictures but it didn't work. Will try again

Judy, try the Turning Twenty Pattern. Just pieced together one & I'm about to start another. It has 1-10 1/2 by 10 1/2 block, one 6 1/2 by 16 1/2 and 1-6 1/2 by 10 1/2 blocks. You move them around to achieve different patterns. It works real well for scraps too. Let me know & I'll tell you more about it.
