some quick blocks

You won't get the full effect here because the sashing is what makes this quilt unusual - you trim it up so it is as if the blocks are sashed with long, narrow right triangles, so when you sew them together, they undulate, but at least these photos give an idea of the colors in the theme fabric I am using.

Good old nine-patches. Nice simple block, easy to do, but pleasantly symmetrical and looks good in nearly any fabric provided there's at least a little contrast.

The fabric line is called "Summerfest" and while it's not-very-many-different-prints, it's done in several different color combinations. (That is very typical of these lines of fabric; there might be anywhere from five to eight prints in anywhere from three to five color families.)

Here's a close up of two of my favorites of the prints:
