Look on this website for the Take Two Pattern. I just made a couple small quilts using this pattern. I sew my strips tgether and then cut them into squares--it is quicker. I just made one with monkey material and a solid coordinating material and it is so cute. (I dont' know how to post pictures so I am not able to show it).

Good luck with whatever pattern you choose. Show us pictures when you are done with it.
