I use one focus fabric and several coordinating fabrics, and start cutting squares and strips for 8-1/2" (unfinished) blocks. I end up with blocks that are square, 2-rectangle, 4-rectangle, and 4-patch. I sew them in 4-block rows, 5 rows (or 20 blocks per quilt), then put a 3" border all around. Makes a 38" x 46" quilt.
The last ones I did, I found a puzzle piece print and had 8 different solids. Once I finished sewing pieces together, I had 100 blocks -- enough for 5 quilts. Now if I can ever get them quilted . . . .
