I made my DB (he is an over the road truck driver) a quilt a few years ago. It was really simple. It was a rail fence variation and had no matched points.

There are 2 strip sets. For example: white-blue-white and blue-white-blue.
Each row is made of a single color way with every other block set on it's side.
So, row 1 is W-B-W as follows
Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal
Row 2 is B-W-B as follows
vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical-Horizontal-vertical

Here is a link to the closet example I could find

I only used 3 strips in my strip sets.

I love that the blocks are 14" too...shouldn't take too too many to make a full size quilt.

I can't wait to see this of whatever else you decide on. I was going to suggest you look over on the Quiltville website (http://quiltville.blogspot.com/). Here's a blue & brown quilt that my DD sent me but I dunno what pattern it is:
