    A log cabin or carpenter's star would work up quickly and you could adjust to the size you want.

    You should just make a simple patch quilt. Maybe even just out of charms. Sometimes the simplest and easiest quilts look best. I bet that would go well with her country theme. That would satisfy your urgent need to get something done immediately. Then you could start working on something more intricate if you so choose to display and finish on your time.

    Churn Dash made with calicos, or small flower prints and solids in soft colors would be very country. It would be quick and easy. Or a simple sampler is very country. Really what makes a quilt country are the fabrics. Homespuns work well too. I can think of all kinds of patterns and fabrics. Do a search of internet images for country quilts for ideas.

    I think we have different definitions of "simple" or "fast and easy"!
    Have fun.

    I think simple for County would be the best... I would choose your fabrics and go from there.
