You can make any pattern.
Pick a pattern you like.
Separate your FQs. Either by color, warm/cool, light/medium/dark...or not at all. Consider adding a single back ground color and then just using the FQs through out.
Think log cabin, one half colored one half neutral. Pinwheels all different colors with a neutral background. You could do the ones with triangles or the ones made from rectangles--I did the rectangle one for my DS with white and 30s prints and used a button at the center of each white pinwheel for added interest. It turned out awesome, IMHO!!

Have you considered a puzzle quilt? I can't recall where I got the pattern, but I think it could be duplicated pretty well. You start with 9 fat quarters stacked on top of each other, and with a new sharp blade, cut the fat quarters at the same time in a pattern you want. Then the pieces are shuffled and sewn back together.
I have made several. Let me look for pictures. Okay, the first quilt is a bit bigger...I may have doubled the pattern. The second uses 9 fat quarters.

Do a lookup of "wickedly easy quilts" on www.byannie.com Someone just posted it this week and i can't wait to start one. Various sizes use from 6 to 30 fat quarters....and so pretty. Good luck !
I make charity quilts for foster children.
