Go to the Moda Bake Shop site and look under Recipes for the Wiggly Whimsey Quilt. It has NO seams to match at all and is a nice looking quilt. www.modabakeshop.com/2012/08/wiggly-whimsy-quilt.html#more

I'm currently working on a quilt called Modern Dreams. It's from QUILT magazine, but probably from two years ago. It made with big 6 1/2 x 13 inch blocks. Very easy and no matching. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you the instructions.

Crossroads blocks are fast and fun to make, you can find a tutorial for them here in 3 different sizes. I am making them in the 12" finished size for a monthly rainbow scrap challenge and love them. Only one seam to match per block! Here is a pick of my orange blocks for March.

Disappearing Nine Patch doesn't require matching seems if you don't lay it out like sashing. I did a pinwheel a month ago. After that I felt the same way about not wanting seams!

Here is a great idea with no seams to match, and the ability to square up after piecing - no stress.

Crazy quilts! The less matchy your seams are, the better.

I like Eleanor Burns' quick trip around the world. All the seams are offset. And it really is fast.

I"ve done this one - it's at the longarm quilter's now (after resting in ufo-land for several years). I don't remember making the individual blocks but seems like there are squares sewn onto rectangles and flipped and sewn together - alternating with bigger blocks - then you sew the rows vertically and when you sew the vertical rows they don't meet at the same corners. I did have to trim a smidge off a couple of rows once joined to make it even but it's so scrappy no big deal. I used coordinating fabrics and fussy cut the bigger squares but plan to do this one again one of these days with scraps

http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-7...t-pattern.aspx it's called bits n pieces

I also searched online several years ago and did a lap size lasagna quilt - I think I cut 3 1/2 inch strips and sewed different lengths together and cut off and kept on til I had the length I wanted them went around the sides about 3 times and quilted. I think it's pretty cool and nothing had to match up - it actually looks similar to the jelly roll race quilt but I didnt' sew it that way - had shorter sections.

thanks for the ideas- gonna look these up for those times I just don't wanna match seams!
