Try the Log Cabin Quilt in a Day Pattern from Eleanor Burns. This was my first EB pattern. It is strip pieced, and you don't make one block at a time. You cut 2 1/2" x 45" long strips, sew together the center block strip (usually red, but can be any color) with the first light, then cut those into 2 1/2" segments. Sew the next light strip on these segments, then cut them . . .It goes really fast and the blocks should be squared up as you go, so the blocks are square.
You have to try this, if you like log cabins.!

I have made several quilts I can't figure why this intimadates me so much..oh well...onward I go.
