I've having the same [problem with BIG boy quilts. I 've been making skateboard quilts and cowboy boot quilts...I'm in NM.
MSQC has a tutorial for skateboards and found a boot pattern free several years ago on Pintrest. My quilt group for Project Linus loves the skateboards and I make them scrappy.
Patterns I'm making now are rolling stones on Donna Jordans web site...free.
Plaid quilts....uses up lots of fab.
Cheery-O quit ... free tutorial on MSSQC.
I'm using mostly bright fabrics for my guys.
