I finished up the quilt for Beatrix using a Trip Around the World pattern. Here is the website I used for a tutorial, which was just great. I did her variation using 9 fabrics. I used all flannel, and used the purple cupcake fabric for the back and binding. It doesn't show well in the picture, but I quilted it by machine, following each fabric across the diagonal to make a diamond pattern.
The "Trip Around the World" comes together so quickly for the top. I would do it again anytime. My only suggestions would be to not pick directional fabric, or be prepared to seam rip and rotate a few squares!
