    What about strips? You sew strips of material together and then you cut out your blocks from the "striped" material. It looks cook if you cut the "stripes" out when they are on a slant. You could do some straight and some slanted.

    I do string blocks for charity. It helps use up my scraps and they are quick and easy to assemble. I'm part of an online group called "Heartstrings". Here is the website and we also have a Yahoo Group.

    I also do string blocks. It's a great way to use up your scraps.

    The rail fence pattern goes up quickly. One of my favorites is the Warm Wishes pattern. http://quiltmaker.com/patterns/patt4/#quilttop
