ummmm??? did the OP not say she already had the fabrics purchased? and ask us for suggestions that would work for that fabric?
I just spotted this pattern, and thought it might work with the fabrics you are planning to use ....

Spilt 9 Patch is useful too.
This one for my Brother, can't remember the name of this pattern?
And this one for a special neighbour, Square in square:
The main thing to remember, I found, was my choice of fabrics, not too many floral!

I like alternating blocks of Shoo Fly (or Hole in the Barn Door, another name for it) with Snowball block. The corners make nice paths through the quilts and the snowball blocks give you a spot for focus fabric. Good luck.
