Suggestions wanted for next quilt (details in comments)

If you like modern quilts, you could choose a pattern with a lot of plain blocks or a large scale. The quilts that take the longest are the ones with a thousand tiny pieces. Considering choosing a simpler pattern and let your color choices be interesting.

I probably sound like a broken record, but Nancy Zeiman's big block quilts are modern and come together quickly.

Probably the wrong way to go about this- but I have a pillow I love and sheets that match... and now I want to make a quilt that goes with it. Only problem is that I have no ideas. I’m a bit of a newbie, and I’ve only made baby quilts before- so the idea of creating a queen sized quilt is daunting. I like more modern quilts, so I thought I’d go for hexies... but I’m not sure I like the look. Any pattern suggestions? Or fabrics? How do I make such a large quilt be not overwhelming? Tips in general for someone who has only made baby quilts and is not thinking about tackling a queen?

I love the encouragement and help from this subreddit- I couldn’t have done any of my first three quilts without it!

hexies (depending on the size) can be pretty time consuming. I recently made a swoon and the big blocks made a really effective quilt come together fairly quickly - 9 blocks with sashing covers my queen size bed comfortably.
