Maybe a Quilt of Valor? Nothing too complicated, say a large blue mottled piece, bordered with friendship stars, then a six inch or so outer border in red. I like working with red, white, and blue, no mitchy matchy color anxiety. Easy repetitive blocks, let your mind wander while you work. Sets you up with a breather before starting your next masterpiece.

Just an idea to toss out there for something different. A memory quilt. I was shocked at how expensive fabric sheets for the printer cost now! So, I google searched how to make your own fabric sheets for pictures, etc., printed off the computer. This one is a REALLY good tutorial, with clear and precise instructions. 6 Techniques for Printing on Fabric at home-#saacibo

I hardly ever order a pattern, but I just ordered A Cog in a Wheel quilt pattern from Theresa Down Under.
It's cool and seems to fulfill all your parameters. Plus, I've read through the PDF and this sucker will keep you busy for a long, long time.
Search the name on Google Images and you'll find a few with a black background.
