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".

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

I got a Savonnerie bundle for my birthday. Beautiful, but more "formal" than the fabrics I have been using. It will be my fifth quilt and I have at least some technique under my belt from having taken pretty challenging beginner & intermediate classes. 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?

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

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.
