    I guess a 4 patch but I don't think about what is easy just what I like.

    I still would like to know what a 5 minute block and what a 10 minute block look like. Could someone post a picture?

    The 5 minute block (it is the subject of a thread in, I think, the Tutorial section here) is similar to the one-seam flying geese block (google it) except that you can do it with three rectangles of the same size, it it so easy and it can be turned into a ten minute block by sewing two together. It is one of my favorite easy blocks, along with anything I can do with paper piecing, the only way I can guarantee that points line up and don't get lost in the seam allowance, etc.

    Drunkard's Path using the Curvemaster foot. Less than a minute per block.

    Could you please tell us more about the curvemaster foot, how it works, price, where to buy, how to use and maybe a photo? Thanks

    You Tube has both the 5 and 10 minute blocks shown and explained. You can also buy the books.

    I think the 9 patch is pretty easy, but then I guess you'd have to say the rail fence is easier because it comes from that.

    Wonky Star block. I can cut and sew the 12 15" blocks for a twin-size quilt in less than 4 hours - so about 20 minutes per block.
    Big border block. I can cut and sew 20 9"x16" blocks in about 3 hours or less.
