My very first quilt which is shown on my avatar had fussy cut center blocks. I used fabric I had left over from a bedspread I made for my boat. It had sailing ships, light houses, stars and a blue background like water. The other fabrics I chose were all related somehow. One looked like seaweed in the ocean, another like sand, another like ocean water, and a final with little red anchors. The backing had blue and red ships wheels all over it.
