Quilts don’t have to be complex to be effective, moving on from simple nine patch you can make a hidden nine patch or combine plain and pieced or triangle blocks to make lovely effective patterns, using a very limited pallet or use up your scraps divided into multi light medium and dark, on one of my samples I have also applied simple shapes, various different design ideas to make a small baby quilt sofa throw or larger quilt a simple technique that can be adapted to your taste
