I think this is the biggest challenge - making them is pretty easy! I'd say, pick a fabric with colours you like, motifs larger than 3" so they get chopped up in the cutting process and something with swirls rather than straight lines. Also, the longer the repeat the more variety you'll get. Having said that - I've seen fantastic OBWs that don't follow any of these rules! And it's always a surprise how a fabric works up - but that's part of the fun!
To date, I've only done hexagon ones although I did put some squares made from 4 triangles in a cathedral window doll quilt I made for Chele in the swap. I want to try those 4 patch posies one day soon... just checking things off the Christmas gift list at the moment. :D
