I don't understand why more people don't use the rail fence pattern, Once the strips are sewn, the blocks are all done! So quick to my mind. The fabric choices are what really make a quilt like this. Here's a graphic I drew for one.
Cut the strips at 3.5" x WOF (42"), sew in pairs, press, then subcut at approx. 6.5" square. Done!
And another I recently did as a community quilt that you can probably figure out easily just by looking at it. I use snowballed corners on the blocks.
