The "Winter Solstice" is a perennial favorite pattern.  Made with 12 values (varying shades) of one color palette the pattern includes instruction for a Throw 56" X 69" and a Queen 88" X 110". It would be a great quilt in any colors so make it for yourself in your favorite colorway or as a gift in the recipients favorite color.
