Love the colors. Would do a turning twenty , log cabin or maybe scrappy.
Scrappy you cut 20 -14 1/2 inch squares, lay them on top of each other and randomly cut shapes. Then you use a shape from each block to create a new scrappy block.
You can have Squares,Rectangles,Traingles,etc.
Reason to cut 14 1/2 inch squares is you need to divide into 3 or 4 eqaul parts across and down. This will allow seam allowance of 1/4 inch to sew back together.
Then sew 4 blocks in each row to form 5 rows. do a 1/1/2 inch close boarder and a 4 inch boarder to complete top.

If you really want a challenge.. how about a lone star.. I'm thinking that would be really striking. or perhaps a broken star. You could pull a contrast for background out of one of your fabrics.. like beige or lt blue.
