The previous one above is most of a completed quilt.
Apple core (also called axe head) is a traditional pattern that is time consuming but not particularly difficult, if you preclip your seam allowances.
My "Hearts of Trinity" quilt was raffled to benefit our local museum. While I made the individual 6x9.5 blocks with hand applique while I watched TV, These could just as well have been machine appliqued.

this is one we have made, in my class, using odd strips and doing Quilt as you go, another favourite is using Quiltville's "Crumb quilting" 
I make a lot for Project Linus and the children love them 'cos of the bright colours.
BTW QM I just love those scrappy blocks made, are you a follower of this Scrap system by any chance http://quiltville.com/index.html :wink:
