Check out www.sweettreat.com They specialize in FQ bundles and have lots of patterns that use 8 FQs and some yardage. Also, google "wickedly easy quilt".

I have used several of their patterns. They are well written and easy to follow and make beautiful quilts. Just whipped up a "Flim Flam" from their patterns yesterday.

Check the Moda website, they have free patterns and may have one for that fabric line.

Don't think I'm ready for a great deal of appliqué, and I still tend to get frustrated with lots of Y seaming. What pattern would you use with this beautiful fabric?

What about one of the Turning Twenty patterns? They are all designed to use 20 fat quarters.........some (if you have another focus fabric or do machine embroidery, allow you to add 10 blocks that have either embroidery or have been fussy cut from the focus fabric........Quick quilts but really nice......Love the fabrics!!

Yellow Brick Road. Easy and made for using fat quarters.

I could not agree more!! When I saw the fabrics I immediately thought Yellow Brick Road.

I was just looking at a book by Barbara Brackman, Making History, Quilts and Fabrics from 1890 -1970, and the Savonnerie fabrics remind me of fabrics she has in a quilt that reflects the era around 1910 or so, except there is more yellow and less of the very dark fabrics that were used then. Still, I think a quilt she has in that book called "Goslings" would be very doable and would show the fabrics off beautifully. I don't know how big your bundle is or how large a quilt you would want to make, so it might be necessary to add some dark background prints and a suitable border, or just make a smaller version, but that's one idea. There is a picture of this quilt on the lower left of this page: https://www.softexpressions.com/soft...ks/4HG0670.php (I have had no dealings with this website, so it's not meant as an endorsement.)

Annie's has a pattern similar to the Crème Brulee. It's called Wrap It Up.

That layer cake has good contrast. I would be reluctant to do anything with half-square triangles because of the stripes. A rail-fence would be good. Or the picket fence star that someone posted in the past few days.
