Our guild's BOM this month is "Lovely Garden" by Debbie Caffrey from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Winter 2013 issue. It looks pretty complicated but is super easy. Would look nice with the red and black solid together with your grey and print, I think.

Can't suggest a pattern BUT I absolutely LOVE that red/grey patterned fabric. Very bold but I love it.

What about a Hunter's Star? That would certainly add a contemporary look to a rather traditional pattern. I have Hunter's Star on the mind because I hope to cut one out tomorrow so I can piece it on an upcoming camping trip. No tent plus electricity.

love the red fabric! have not seen it before. who makes it, please? my daughter loves the classic red/white/black. I would think the addition of the silvery gray would calm it down considerably. having said that, nearly all my quilts are bright so my opinion may be prejudiced, lol.

OK, this is what I ended up making, a carpenters star. What do you think?

The gray didn't come out very good. Must be the fluorescent lights and early morning.

How about a drunkards path done as pinwheels so that it has a lot of movement. I have seen large prints done in it . Or you could use the 2 or 3 of the fabrics as drunkard pinwheels and one more as a background fabric. Good luck and put up pics when you decide!!! Look up drunkards path on pinterest I am sure I saw a couple of examples on there.
