Our quilt group's making lap size quilts for a nursing home and I used this technique. It went together in just a couple hours. Last nite I did the free motion quilting on it and tonite I'll finish it up with the binding. I previously made a twin size quilt for a friends son who is a freshman in college. Using many different fabrics in masculine colors I made a variable log cabin block (the center was much larger than normal) then I cut it in half, and in half again and mixed up the squares with several others, sewed them back together and it was a very stricking design. The kid was very pleased to get it for a graduation gift. Now I'm hoping it's not hanging out his window at college.
