kwhite - I always suggest Storm at Sea, but his time I was going to suggest Bargello. We're a great team!

There are some new pattern books that use batiks. Easy pretty quilts.

Have you seen Sylvia's Bridal SAmpler? You can add as much green and/or purple as you want. It is beautiful. http://www.sylviasbridalsampler.com/

What does this do for you? It shows off the fabrics nicely and it is incredibly easy to do.

What pattern is that? I like it!

If you go to quilterscache and see "Planned Patch Hood", that is where I got it from. I had one block laid out and said to myself "I like it this way". I call it "Four Patch Surrounded".

I like that too, would love to know the name and where to get the pattern.

Many thanks for all the great feedback! I must say, a decision isn't coming quickly, but thanks for helping narrow it down to a few good choices. I am not familiar with Jacob's Ladder or Storm at Sea patterns; could someone post a link? I had thought of a bargello, but wasn't sure how it would look in a king size quilt. Has anyone made a king size bargello?

I have quilted off and on for a few years, primarily smaller quilts for charities. Most of my patterns are simple, requiring only a mat, rotary cutter and chain sewing on the machine. :) I think some of your ideas will work great for our quilt group at church.

Thanks again for the great suggestions!
