here's a quilt that I use quit a bit when I need something fast.

it looks much harder then it is. The main blocks is the focus fabric so I pick what ever fabric print that is needed like for a baby, man or woman. Then simple cut the strips for the sashing in fabric that compliments the focus print. As far as the side triangles, they are very easy to figure out. If your focus blocks are 6" blocks and you use the 3" sashing, I cut 11" blocks which I cut on the diagonal. This give you a size a little bit bigger then needed but if you have problems with points as I do sometimes. This makes it so you don't have to worry about all that. It's like adding an extra outer border without having to cut it and you have a quilt with all the points in tack.
