I like the jewel box pattern to showcase fabrics, and I think it would be perfect for these. You'd need a 'quiet' background fabric to tie it all together, maybe tone on tone gold or green so the mostly white fabric would show as well as the red.
Here's some links for jewel box patterns:
Jewel Box from About.com
Jewel Box from Jinny Beyer
Jewel Box from Quilter's Cache
I just finished a jewel box quilt (binding it now) and I did each small block in the same fabric (two 4 patches and two half-square triangles) It looks great and really shows off the fabric.

There is a book by Judy Sisneros called Rectangles with Pizazz that has simple patterns that showcase big prints or fabrics that are so beautiful that you don't want to cut them up. Get a look at that and I think you'll find what you are looking for.

Beautiful fabrics. They all seem to be the same size print and value. I would use them along with at least one solid color or tone on tone that is common to the prints. Decide what you want to make-- table runner, tree skirt, quilt and then think about the pattern. Do you want to do some applique or fussy cutting. Have fun looking at examples. There are so many great patterns out there, I couldn't begin to narrow it down.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have 6, 1 yard pieces of the following fabric and I don't have any pattern ideas for all this beautiful fabric. Please help me. I'd love to be able to use it all. I thought at first log cabin, but I would need more of the dark red then I have. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks so much!
