For my starter pieces, I keep a stack of 2 1/2" squares of various pastel colored fabric by my sewing machine that I sew together. The twosies can be easily turned in to four patch squares, etc. Before I know it I have a nice start for the small baby quilts I make for our drug baby care facility. Every so often I take time to put the sets together, a nice mindless activity on those days when thinking about a specific pattern is more than my mind can handle.
