Why not try a 9 patch with sashing. Picture of 9 patch which is my favorite block and what I learned on.

My sister and I each made a quilt cutting a 2and 1/2 inch block out of every fabric in our huge stash and sharing with one another. We didn't really us a pattern just sewed them in 4 patch blocks than sewed them together put prairie points around it and loved it. We fussy cut if we had small objects in the print, like a rose, butterfly, etc the others were just that block squares are easy to work with and you can do lots with them

Try googling Blooming 9 patch. Just simple squares. You do the design work with the fabrics. They are so neat.

Sometimes you just have to hop in and start....who knows where the journey will take you!

I know that squares sound easy and boring, but they can look so awesome, just depending on color placement, try a DP 9 or a DP4, you will be surprised how much it takes to make this quilt :D
