What says Great Gatsby to you?
I'm in the process of making a quilt the is inspired by the Great Gatsby, the 1920s, and art deco. I have a bunch of fabric already (but I'm sure it's probably not enough, it never is lol) but I can't seem to pick one pattern for the job. I went through lost of books, websites, and blogs and a bunch of quilt that could be it, but I haven't been able to narrow it down. I need your guys opinions on what I should do.
First off here is the fabric I'll be using. There's black, shades of gray, gold, cream, and light blue. Sorry for the small image.
Then are the patterns.
1) Buddy Blocks by Happy Zombie (http://thehappyzombie.com/blog/?p=602)
2) Diamond (http://www.quiltmanufaktur.blogspot....0/diamond.html)
3) Garden Fence (http://hyacinthquiltdesigns.blogspot...den-fence.html)
4) Hugs and Kisses (http://www.littlemissshabby.com/2011...-scrap-winner/)
5) Purple and Aqua (http://wombatquilts.com/2013/03/01/c...e-purple-aqua/)
6) Half Log Cabins (http://www.maryquilts.com/half-log-cabin/)
7) Log Cabins with Lattice (antique quilt)
8) Tumbling Fans (in "Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts by Kaffe Fassett)
9) Jelly Roll Quilt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Ix...5gOdxoq60FBtjQ)
Thanks in advance!

Most Art Deco patterns were fan-shaped and/or geometric, so 8 & 7 for me. My eye was immediately drawn to the Kaffe Fassett one, but I am a huge fan of his use of colour so probably persuaded by that too.
