One of the quilts I worked on the retreat was one from QuiltDiva Julie. She gave me two that used the same rail fence type pattern. I did make the first one according to plan, but when I started sewing the second one, I got fidgety. I looked and thought and rembered the 3 Dudes quilt from MSQC I made long ago. It would lend itself perfectly with no waste.
I started with the same rail fence blocks, Light Dark Light Dark Light and Dark Light Dark Light Dark, but then I placed them right sides together and sewed all around them. Then I cut them diagonally from corner to corner twice.

Yes, that really kicked it up a level!
That one does pop very nicely! Good idea.
That makes an exciting design from some simple blocks
Oh I love it!! and those colors are amazing together!!!
Job well done, Linda. Nice to have those tried and true ideas for just the right fabric cuts. It makes a lovely secondary pattern, and will keep someone cozy too.
Oh, wow! You have inspired me tonight! This is perfect for what I need! Thank you.
