I vote for this pattern with black instead of white.

Make a cathedral windows using Eddie's tutorial in the tutorial section. Easy to do, fun, and looks spectacular.

Oooh, I never thought to use black for this. That would be really spectacular with the bright colors.

Consider a deep dark purple, or matching colors already in the blocks with rich jewel colors, bright or dark, if you do the sashing.

And or make it a center piece of a larger quilt with like minded bright colors. You could create a complementary pattern to accentuate the gorgeous pieces. I know you will enjoy your gift no matter what you choose to do with them. I will be looking forward to seeing your creation. Have lots of fun.

I think this is a great idea, althou I might consider a black backgrond as others have suggested. You are lucky to have such a great friend.
