Maybe if he looked at some pictures of green art quilts he could pin down what appeals to him.

I made a quilt that was loads of fun, very creative, and everyone who sees it, loves it. It is the "About Trout" pattern put out by Lunchbox Quilts.
Here is the link to their site. http://www.lunchboxquilts.com/shop/product/about-trout/
Good Luck,
Steve

I went to the website just out of curiousity and they have some lovely patterns that would play well with solid colors. Play up the lay out of the colors rather than the print of the fabric since you are using solids. I love those graduated color quilts and some of those optical illusion ones which work so well with solid colors. There was a "to die for" maze quilt on here a few days ago that was solid colors and STUNNING!
Be sure and let us see what you come up with.

Take a look at the Gumball Pattern sold by Stitchin' Heaven. I have made 5 of these. Easy easy pattern..not all from their kits. The pattern splashes color throughout the quilt. It is made up of 12 or14 inch blocks (can't remember) and shows you to turn the block as you sew them together. I didn't do that so much...on mine I made the objective to splash out the color evenly over the eye scan of the quilt. Most of mine were from batiks. Another suggestion is to look at some of the "modern quilt" patterns. They use lots of solids and "empty" space.

The Kaufman fabrics you purchased are wonderful and you got a lot of good suggestions. Here is another - it is from a pattern called Taylored Stars designed by Doug Leko of Antler Quilt Design. http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin...aylored_stars/
I can really see this pattern looking great with the lineup of solid colors you have there.
