Check out the Jelly Roll Race quilt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU
I made one using scraps of varied lengths and colors (all cut 2-1/2" wide), rather than a Jelly Roll. It is fast, fun and easy!

My absolute favorite pattern is Boxed Squares. I have made it eleven times and am working on number twelve. It's incredibly easy, but can be very impressive with lots of color. 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and 2 1/2 x 6 1/2.

When I am out looking for inspiration, I go to Google and would do a STRING QUILT search and then click on the Photo Gallery. Thee are so many patterns and you have to find what you will enjoy making. Have fun !!

I've been a student of Bonnie Hunter's site and made several jelly roll race quilts (don't really want to do them again--I think I've made 5 or 6 out of 2.5" strips from before). I've also already made a split 9 patch (rather large one in fact) and some of the others mentioned.
However, I really appreciate the ideas and esp. when you all give websites. Thanks I'll check them all out!
