Hi Pat,
I see you have taken over as moderator of this echo.  I want to wish you the 
best.  Hopefully we will all be good so that you don't have to give us too 
many smacks on the keyboard.
I have seen many new quilt projects that are so interesting.  To keep on 
topic I will tell you of one that I thought of as cute.
In one corner it was a small 4 patch followed by a complimenting solid. You 
need to make 4 of these all together.  Then sew 2 together opposite of each 
other and then to the side add a solid which also compliments the 4 patch 
colors.  Do this twice and you end up with (fingers don't fail me now)
|---|---|-------|--------------|
|___|___|       |              |     Oh well I try! 
|___|___|_______|              |     The big solid square I made 3 1/2"
|       |   |   |              |     The smaller solid I made 2"
|       |---|---|              |     The tiny ones I made by cutting a 2 1/2"
|_______|___|___|______________|     square and quartering it. Also you can
|               |   |  |       |     make all the squares different for a
|               |---|--|       |     scrappy look or use 1 print and 1 solid
|               |___|__|_______|     for the tiny ones.  The block ends up
|               |      |   |   |     6 1/2" but when you sew 4 of these
|               |      |---|---|     together it makes a 12 1/2" Then you can
|_______________|______|___|___|     add borders or whatever you want to them
                                     to make the quilt you want.
I'm making a small one all in pastels for my great-niece who is expecting.  
o
far it looks real cute.
Well long winded me again.
