I've been looking at the themes folks have picked and was astounded at how many birdhouse themed rows there are. Pelicans are common around the Gulf Coast.... Magnolia blossoms in the deep south. Looking at the State's photo galleries is a mini art exhibit in itself :-). Longhorns and bluebonnets in Texas (anyone surprised by that one?) So many applique rows, too.... I prefer piecing. I have two kits so far... This weekend will have me tooling around picking up more patterns.
