Since it will be hanging on a wall, make something that is a show stopper; like Hollow Cubes. That is really easy if you make half blocks and sew the half blocks into rows, then sew the rows of half blocks together. Look in Pictures and find Cat-on-a-mac's sticky. Look under Tumbling Blocks for a picture of that. It uses triangles in all the centers.
Other optical illusions can be fun, too.

If you are considering a sampler, check this out: http://www.thesplendidsampler.com/bl...onus-projects/ The patterns are all free (for now). I was just going to look because I have too many UFO's...........I now have 4 blocks finished, downloaded several more, and anxiously waiting for the new blocks to come out every week. Good luck, your fabric is beautiful.

Your fabric is beautiful! And congratulations on having such an understanding and loving and generous DH!
Someone posted a photo of a quilt called "Walk in the city" recently, which you could use a lot of different fabrics to make--the block is one big square and four little squares (I think), turned different ways. It's very modern, very striking and pretty, and I think would make a great large wall hanging (and I don't normally even like hanging full quilts as decor).
