My first thought was the "Walk About" pattern. It has several sizes in the pattern and is really gorgeous with a large floral for the focus print. Here is a link with some pics
If you arent fussy cutting the floral, it calls for 2 5/8 yd of the floral, and 2 yards each of two other fabrics, then (1st & 3rd) borders& binding 2 -1/3 yard, srtipe border 1 1/4 yards. Hope you can tell by picture. This is for a Queen size. Pattern has lap, twin ,queen and King.
It really works up nicely and quickly and is stunning!

can't think of the other name of the quilt, everybody calls it a potato chip quilt because you can't make just one. Made from your focus fabric and the coordinated colors are made into 9patches, then you use large squares of your focus fabric that are divisible by the size of your 9 patch. So if you 9 patch is 5 inches your focus fabric could be a block of 5x5, 5x10 5x15, 10x 10, 10x15, and so on. then you arrange them in an eye pleasing manner. I made one, and just absolutely loved it. Wish my computer wasn't messed up so I could show you a picture of it.

The orange flower fabric is beautiful. One possibility is a slice and dice by Robin Gallagher. Attaching picture of a quilt I made with her slice and dice method. I'll try to get a link to their web site and the pattern.
