I took 2 fabrics, one floral and one solid with matching colors, layered them right sides together cut them the same size (I think 3 maybe 3 1/2 inches square) and alternated the pieces as I sewed. Just cut then sewed pieces until it was wide enough then went on to the next row and did the same only starting with the opposite solid or floral for each row. I guess it could be called a 1 patch, I finished the border and bound it with the leftovers.
Turned into a really cute throw.
Was easy and mindless when I wanted something simple to work on. The best part I could lay it aside for days or weeks at a time and didn't have to do a lot of thinking of "where was I?" when I went back to it.
