I have made a small trip around the world with very bright colors. The baby was already born when I made it so I was able to put his name in the middle of the quilt. Another one was an I Spy quilt with all different animals using 5 inch squares so it went really fast. My grandson I made a chevron quilt with a large red heart in the lower right quadrant. I have an Accuquilt cutter so cutting HST goes really fast. For a while I was on an I Spy kick using hexagons and triangles. It ws fun because I liked doing the fussy cutting with a template. Figured out how many hexies I needed then, decided if I wanted 2 or 3 of each print. Using the triangles there are no "Y" seams. But I did have a dickens of a time keeping the points to match up.
