There is a pattern called Easy Breezy which is great for those fabrics that you don't want to cut. You need 1-3/4 to 2 yds for the center of the quilt, fabric for the first border, then 1/4 yd of 5 or 6 coordinating fabrics for rails, then a final border, if you want one and binding. Square up the center fabric; cut the first border 2-1/2" to 3" wide; cut the coordinating fabrics into several widths (2", 2-1/2", 3", 4") and subcut into rails (I like 6" rails, but you can make them longer or shorter). Sew the rails together to make borders for all 4 sides. Add the final border if you want it. Easy Breezy.
