To me these colors say folklore quilt. Something with both piecing and some simple applique and maybe a Eastern European feel to it. Yummy colors!

I like the feel of this one.

That's a beautiful quilt, Fiona!

If the fabrics were mine, I would find a pattern that highlighted different combinations of 2 or 3 of them, like a Dresden. Or maybe a repeated applique like "dancing umbrellas." I've done a graduated pattern before, and it was surprising how differences in value and delicacy caused all kinds of trouble that wasn't obvious when they were in one delicious group.

Hugs,
Charlotte

Whatever pattern you use the fabric is beautiful.

If you go with adjacent colors or bargello, separate the two bright yellows (they are too alike) and avoid a clean gradual progression by putting one of the "textured/printed" fabrics in a "wrong place". That adds interest you don't get with evenly and consistently shaded fabrics.
