I think I would be tempted to make half square triangles, with half light, half dark on most blocks, maybe a smaller percentage light to light or dark to dark. Then I'd have fun playing around with a lot of different settings on a design wall.

Here is an online free tutorial for Trip Around The World. http://www.ludlowquiltandsew.co.uk/free-quilt-and-sew-patterns/free-quilt-pa
But to be honest, I would buy Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day Trip Around the World pattern. That pattern was my first quilt, and I found it very easy to follow. Here's a link to her pattern:

While I like boxed squares quilts, I think they look best with batiks or tonal blendy fabrics. The fabrics pictured by the thread author are quite traditional, and I think they would be most pleasing in a very traditional block with fairly small pieces-- 9 patches, hst, log cabins, the like.

I made a quilt with similar fabrics. The pattern is A Little Northwind by Carole Charles of Primitive Gathering.
It is the third quilt pictured here, http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t184211.html

Your fabrics are mostly civil war reproduction so any traditional block like churn dash or even a sampler would work nicely. Look up civil war patterns...of course i can't think of any designers off the top of my head. Oh yeah, Lori Smith is one who uses alot of these fabrics.

I like this. Also depending on your yardage you might need more brown. I also think any two tone quilt pattern would work but I especially think one with a traditional block would look nice because the prints are CW.
