Last year I made a simple 8 inch square blocks 6 across, 7 down with a similar fabric, used a stripe fabric for back. It is my favorite winter quilt to put over my lap when watching TV on cold evenings. I had seen a similar quilt in a gift catalog, can't remember the price, but expensive. I loved it in the catalog & knew I already had almost everything (needed to buy the strip fabric) I needed to copy it. Simple diagonal lines with red thread to quilt it. I think it is the simplicity that makes me smile every time I use it.
