I love to use a modified log cabin block. Am posting a picture of one that I made recently. The middle square is cut at 6 1/1 inches square the other pieces are strips cut at 2 1/2 pieces. I will try to post a picture of it so you can see what I mean. You can chain piece it real easy. Start with the first piece and sew all of them on, cut them apart and then go to the second piece etc. etc.
