My two favorite are Log cabin and Yellow Brick Road. I like the log cabin because I can use 1 1/2 inch strips ( or any other size I would happen to have lots of) , I seem to have lots of 1.5 inch strips. They always look so interesting , and I just have to sort lights from darks. It would go even faster if I used wider pieces.
If I have bigger "scraps" Yellow brick road is a good one... but truth be told I reduce the scale so it suits the scraps I have...
You can always do some variation of the dissappearing nine patch using scraps and get nice results.
I would be bored too sewing the samething ... but your previous threads .. .you really are trying to "break the cycle". You wild woman! Watch out she is "going rogue"!
Good Luck !

I used strips of darks and lights - alternating. You sew them together on a 45 degree angle.

This is called Crayon Box and the pattern is from Bonnie Hunter's site, Quiltville. I added borders.

Where is a good place to donate a few quilts I made besides nursing homes, salvation army and the hospitals?

There are so many places to donate! Women's and children's shelters, foster care, any children's group home or orphanage, police, sheriff, and fire departments. treatment facilities to name a few.

d9p, Florentine Fantasy, and Sylvia's Windows are my faves. Sylvia & Florentine are both really fast projects, you can go from uncut yardage to complete top in one day. I don't get bored with the Florentine pattern as quickly as the others.
