Lisa, I hope you continue to improve.
Here are a couple of posts on QB that particularly caught my eye recently. They don't have instructions, but both of them look as though they'd be easy to imitate and alter to suit your own style.
This one posted by woody is a half log cabin with dark and light hst's - very dramatic and modern:

And this one, pieced by Prairie Quilter that was posted by Charisma is also a different twist on an old technique. I just love everything about it, especially the way Charisma's quilting enhances it:

There have been many other beautiful quilts. I think you might want to browse through the Pictures forum. The inspirations are endless. Happy quilting!
