There is a pattern called Easy Breezy. You start with 2 yards (more or less, depending on how big you want to make your quilt). Remove the selvages, then add a 2" (finished) border. Cut the coordinating fabrics into varied widths (2", 2-1/2", 3", 4") strips, then sew the strips together in different sets (I usually cut the strips in half instead of using the WOF so I'll be able to get more combinations), then cut the strip sets into 6" blocks. Sew the blocks together to make a piano key border. Then finish with another 2" border.
