Default Pattern suggestions for this fabric

DH just returned from Germany and brought home approx. 3 meters of fabric that our friend bought as a gift for me. There is no selvedge on any of the fabrics, not sure whether the store cut it off or ? Anyway, it is cotton and I'm trying to come up with a plan for it. Welcome all suggestions.... except...sorry... it's staying at my house [ATTACH=CONFIG]475139[/ATTACH]

Looking at the fabrics you have a total of atleast about 6 colors. You could do disappearing 4/9. Twister and I'm now at a loss. So many patterns out there. You could also incorporate these into other projects. have fun!

Hmmm, I' m thinking a pattern like the Atkinson's Fire Escape pattern? The large rectangles would not be cutting up the fabric too much and you could do the little squares in white or black?

I think I would make Bears Paws. Use each color in its own block, set against white tonal.

Thanks for those suggestions, just had a look at the Fire Escape one, interesting! My first thought had been Dresden plate but it's not my favourite... although this fabric doesn't look "modern" I thought I'd like to try to make it look that way and I like that there's no points to match on that pattern.... I've just put the fabric in the wash.... I guess one of my huge problems is that I made a list recently of 17 projects that are in the works...some are BOM so not UFOs.... and 6 quilt tops ready to be quilted either by hand or machine I wasn't really looking for another project just yet....

I like the bear paw idea. I also like the attached pattern. 2nd photo quilt on left is the same as first one. I think it is called Focus Pocus. I think one was done by Charisma from the QB.

I don't know how the 3rd one got there. Oops! I love it though.
