Which pattern?
 
I have 12, half yards of coordinating print fabrics. Need to make a quilt for a fundraiser in twin or double size. If I add some additional solids, what blocks or patterns are relatively easy to make?

Log cabin, Split Nine patch, Rail Fence, Warm Wishes, Brick Road, Turning Twenty, Nine patch alternated with Snowball blocks, Disappearing Nine Patch, 5 minute block, 10 Minute Block.

I don't have anything to add, I just hope you have fun and make lots of money at the fundraiser and good luck. Hope you post a pic when it's done.

turning twenty makes a fantastic quick and easy pattern and with 12 half yards that gives you 24 fat quarters so you have enough for the size top you want without having to add anything more.

How about Focus Pocus. Search on QB as there are several beautiful quilts shown with that pattern.

Yellow brick road is another fast pattern. Best of luck choosing just one pattern.

Wish you posted a photo of the fabrics. You have to let your fabric talk to you. Some of the patterns list above are not as quick as those like the Yellow Brick road. Turning Twenty I have seen is a stunning quilt with a scrappy look. Good luck in choosing.

Here are some pics of the fabric. Hope it helps! I was thinking I should have chosen a pattern first, then picked the fabrics...working backwards is a little harder!

I'm finishing up an Eleanor Burns 'Quick Trip', its really easy and fast to put together. Have had more complements on this one than any other quilt I've made recently.

See below, I put some pictures up!

No pics? I think the fabric says modern so search on modern images and you will find lots of ideas. Modern rectangles with white would be easy. Nice fabric.

The Double Slice Layer Cake pattern on the MSQC website would look great done in your fabrics. Here is one I did with black, white and red fabrics: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...51-441812.html .
Your fabrics have limited contrast, so a pattern like this will work really well for them.

I agree, the Double Slice would look fantastic with your fabrics.

Thank you all for the replies! After some searching, I decided to take Linda's advice and go modern. I found this: http://happyzombie.bigcartel.com/product/patio Can't wait to get started!

What she said!

This pattern will give you the chance to use larger scale prints in the larger pieces of the blocks so you don't lose the graphic. Good luck and please share your quilt.
