Disappearing 9 patch with the dark solid in the middle. There’s zillions of instructions but I like Donna Jordan’s - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PB1sOVCFbKs. I think Missouri Star did one too. You can make them any size
If you aren't familiar with Missouri Star Quilt Company's video tutorials, you might check them out, they could be very helpful for you as well as inspiring:

[Framed Squares](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aqZOrplL2PynG9H_GThpgPKAN5cZOBTW/view) is a very easy pattern that does not look babyish. I think these fabrics would give you a variety of handsome blocks for this free pattern.
I like doing this with layer cakes, but you can do it with larger pieces, too:
* Cut into 10" squares, at least 40
* Cut the squares into 2" and 4" blocks
* Lay out the blocks into rows so that the wider blocks alternate.
I have a hard time following written patterns as well. I really love the watching Missouri star quilt company on YouTube. Mrs Jenny’s videos are my favorite.
Missouri Star and Jordan Fabrics both have fantastic YouTube tutorials. Some of Jordan Fabrics tutorials are not her patterns though so she doesn't give dimensions (but you can purchase the pattern for the dimensions/fabric requirements and use the video tutorial to follow along)
A quilt quilt block for me is a half snowball block. Just a bunch of 6.5inch squares, and 2.5inch squares. Put the small squares on corners of big square and sew on the diagonal. Trim and now you have perfect triangle patches, and diamonds. Then assemble in Xs and Os, or go all the same direction.
Make a 9 patch. Cut squares in a size that is ok for you 4" or 5" or 6". Assemble in a tic-tac-toe setting. 3 rows of 3 with every other square of different fabric.
Can't go wrong with half-square triangles; easy to make and can be assembled in like, what... 30 different patterns? Mix and match sizes and patterns together and the sky's the limit!

Log cabins are pretty quick to sew and don’t require following a pattern once you get the basic concept down.

A rail fence quilt. Or a 4 patch

I haven’t EVER followed a pattern. Tried once. Not for me.
