Maybe you would be interested in this Storm at Sea pattern.

This link is a free pattern. It's only two easy blocks, but the variety of results is nearly endless.

I agree -- Carol Doak is a great teacher for pp. I have her 50 stars book and I have done her smaller blocks -- great practice without wasting a lot of fabric.

I learned PP from the Farmer's Wife 1930's book. A group here on the board were making the blocks together... we made two a week until we had all hundred or so. That much PP, that often, really cemented the process in my head. If I just tried to PP infrequently, I'd forget and have to learn it over and over. But after 100 little blocks, I'll never forget!

It's really fun and you don't have to waste a lot of fabric once you get proficient at it.
