Nice quilt and great idea on the border. I've only made a table topper so far but hope to do a bigger one soon. Thanks

You'll like it. There are several quick no waste techniques with stunning results. I found the accuracy of the pieces was better then templates or rotary cutting with rulers. Also you cut multiple pieces at the same time. It goes fast! I like the technique where you mark the back of your rotary cutting mat above trying to lay pieces of paper down and cut through them.

The "No Waste Windmill" pattern can be found in Anita Grossman Soloman's book "Rotary Cutting Revolution" published last year by C & T Publishing. It's available through amazon.com, and most other quilt shops. Here it is at amazon.com for only $17.53:

Here are two baby quilts made using her techniques. I especially enjoyed the square in a square. The square in a square is found both in her book and a free online tutorial.
