While most of the examples show just 5 fabrics, here is a link that uses more: http://www.blankquilting.com/QuiltSe...icGallery.aspx
I think you could make a green block and a purple block and maybe lay them out is rounds. example a green block in the center surrounded with purple blocks and the more green around them.
Or you could mix them all up within the blocks and the setting.

Actually, that's not the one I was thinking of though I do like this one. This is the one my DIL saw:

If I did this one I was wondering if I couldn't do the center box like in purple. Then the boxes around it in green. Then the boxes around that it purple...you get the idea. Just trying to brainstorm all the possibilities! This is the part that takes so long! lol!

That's what I was thinking...doing them in rounds...but using the pattern that I just posted above. What do you think?

I too was wondering about Bento Box. I'll have to look at more images of that pattern since I'm not real familiar with it. Have you done one? A modified Bento Box might be good too.

What about something different like this pattern:

It's called Birchtree lane. It's simple yet contemporary.

That's pretty! But looks kind of difficult. Are these appliquéd? How did you do them?

How about a bargello. That's pretty modern. Or maybe an Asian theme.

Oh, I've steered away from Bargello's as a newbie because they looked so difficult. But I made a TATW and thought...maybe a Bargello might not be so difficult after all! Do I have the right progression of colors for a Bargello? I looked in this one LQS and there really weren't other fabrics in the the store that matched the ones that I have here. These greens and purples are not your typical shades. Are these enough fabrics for a Bargello? I see yours in your Avatar and it's really nice!
