This is the pattern I was thinking of. It was in Feb or March '07 Country Quilts mag.

Thanks everyone for so many ideas. I think I might try the tumbling block. I have always been scared to try one by machine so this is a great opportunity. I'll just separate my scraps into lights/med/darks. Now I'm getting a little more excited about starting! Thanks again for the help!

Oh, I forgot. What are apple core blocks?
