Help me choose fabric for a project. Anything goes!

I am going to make one of these to hang on DD's chair at our dining table:


(this is where she does her homework and uses the laptop). I figured it'd be an awesome way to store school papers and things and clear a spot off of the table.)

So, I need to choose a fabric. Just for reference, our house is very neutral.  The paint in our dining room is

with this on an accent wall:


Trim is white.  The curtains are plain and match the first color (sort of a soft burlap type material) with white sheers. Other fabrics are red or reddish-rust.  Furniture in this room is a mix of black and wood toned.


So, I thought, I definitely want to do a pattern, something fun but not something too kiddish. So, go wild, what sorts of fun fabrics can you find?

(I do have access to Hobby Lobby and Joanne's Fabrics, btw)

I'd do something whimsical and/or colorful, and I wouldn't worry about matching colors. 

Out of what you have pinned, this is sort of fun: www.joann.com/outdoor-fabric-better-homes-and-garden-ornament-linen/12295705.html

What a fun project! I also agree with @merida that you should let your daughter help pick the pattern. But I really like the third one over on the bottom row, and the first bird pattern munkii posted.
