What about something that looks woven? With the right fabrics and quilting something pieced like this can really shine. You don't have to do appliqued mermaids like I did, just picture them as another fabric. :)

The blocks are 12 finished. I used two 3.5" strips on either side of a 6.5" strip.

I agree with luvstoquilt, about making a double Irish chain. Mary Ellen Hopkins used to say that you take a simple pattern, but use WOW fabric to make a wonderful quilt. I heard her at a quilt seminar where she had her trunk show of quilts. The quilts had simple blocks, but great fabrics to make spectacular quilts.

Surprisingly easy and most impressive is the One Block Wonder.

My favorite is Warm Wishes, as it looks different when using different fabrics.

Mine was the attic window quilt I made from chicken fabric. Not big, not difficult, but everyone who sees it comments on it, and I admit I think it's cute. I take no credit, really; it was the fabric.

Of course, this doesn't suit itself to a wedding quilt. Just my simplest but most impressive.

I used the pattern from the "Big Book of Best-Loved Quilt Patterns" (Leisure Arts)

What is the name of your pattern. Love the bold colors.

Thanks for this post - loved looking at everyone's favourites - Whispering Lace by Amy Ellis has gone on my list!
I'm with you. That is a beautiful quilt. And now that I've read the entire thread, I probably have to add Whispering Lace AND Totally Triangular to my bucket list. :D

Jacob's Ladder is an easy quilt but you would need some lights to coordinate with your colors.

My favorite and didn't take much time is my 10-minute block. It has such a variety of colorful blocks, and I didn't spent much time on it. Good luck! Mariah
