Do you have one of the One Block Wonder books, which give lots of help and hints for fabric selection, as well as cutting and construction, and ideally you will want at least a 12in repeat.

You use ONE fabric, and six repeats of it.
Four repeats would let you do a 4PP.
Or if you have eight repeats, then you're up for a SAW/OBW.

Katrine - I love the cubes you did with Christmas fabric! Thanks for that great idea.
leatheflea - even if you use Christmas fabric in a OBW, the resulting quilt may not look like Christmas. I did one with doggy fabric and you have to look very hard to see the dogs.
