    It can be simple...for eg you may just use a piece of fabric you like, or from a quilt you worked on that day, or wedding fabric if you went to a wedding..the choice is yours!

    Here is a couple I did a few years ago now...

    Would love to see any you have done?

    This is a good idea,and better /easier than a charm quilt where no two fabrics are supposed to be the same; I see in the first pic ,which I like the best--that you used a long piece of purple fabric in various lengths to adjust the days of the month to ensure equal measure , that is v clever.
    Were they machine pieced?
