I don't have many pictures on this computer.... but I think the pattern depends on who will be receiving the quilts. I have made several and what I have learned is to try to keep the blocks big. The quilter in me always wants to do a neat pattern, but I have had the experience of the recipients appreciating when they can clearly recognize the shirt, jacket or pants (or whatever is used) My great nieces enjoyed being able to identify the block in a quilt as a shirt their grandma has on in a picture --- especially when grandma is holding the grandkids.
I have found that an apple core pattern is nice for accomplishing this or basic blocks
But older recipients may not need that visual connection.
