start with a piece with 5 sides, and start building to them.
Trim and add another piece. trim fabric after each addition.
I do build on a fondation square. It can be paper, muslin or batting depending what you are going to do with your blocks.

I started with a pc added another etc then cut them each into the hexagon shape using a template. a crazy hex! it came out great. I would post but don't have the camera attachment. It's buried somewhere. when I find it I would love to post pics

The last two lap quilts I made had "crazy quilt" backs made from the scraps from the front. I simply continued to add pieces, squaring occasionally until I reached 12" squares then made rows of the 12" squares and adding whatever I needed to the end of each row (off setting each row with the odd measurement). One row would be four 12" blocks with a 3"x12" block at the end and other I'd reverse the next row to start with the 3"x12" block. That way there is a sense of order but it finishes like a crazy quilt look and no backing material was needed.

I bounce around from project to project depending on my mood for the day. It drives my grandma crazy!lol she tells me not to start another until I finish the first. I'm just not that kind of quilter, I get bored and aggravated too easily :)
