 Squares and crosses give this quilt a modern look, it is also good for scrappy fabrics as they are separated by the background - no clashes of fabric on fabric.

Classic Christmas Quilt - Free Pattern

 This quilt from All People Quilt uses four Ocean Waves blocks and quilted snowflakes in the negative space.  Whilst it is in Christmas fabrics in this example it would make a fantastic scrap buster in any colours you have (the HST's are squared to 2 1/2").  It is 46" square but would be very easy to scale up fast by adding more blocks.
