Strip peicing is an awesome technique that you can make tops fast with little effort. The quilt I made above I made in a single day. It's just cutting 2" (actually 1.5" in that one" and sewing the length of the strips together. Then you cut them, turn the block and then sew it back together. Rail fence is the easist strip peicing technique that makes a great baby quilt when made with baby fabrics.

Here's a pattern: Rail Fence Quilt Pattern

You just sew three strips of different fabric together, cut them and turn them a different direction and sew them back together. It's easiest to make the strips with a cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler. I bought a ruler with a built in cutter at Walmart for $30 and it's the best money I ever spent. It also makes it easier for cutting your borders.
