    I had done a Trip Around the World in 5" blocks and backed with fleece, quilt stitch diagonals (no batting) in a single day easy. Still managed to do laundry & feed family, too.

    I am soon to start a quickie baby quilt, using a purchased pattern (OMG - I HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A PATTERN BEFORE!! I FEEL ASHAMED. It was a download, so you don't have to worry about shipping time.) but it's basically one large log cabin block, measuring 37" square I think. The pattern is called "Baby Steps" from e-patternsCentral.com. I'm doing it pink/lavender, but would be cute with kid's prints also.

    I'm doing 2 DNP's I spy baby quilts for my new twin great-grandsons. Super easy and lots of fun to make.

    Thanks for your input.

    I love e-patterns central; they have some great patterns, no shipping, no waiting. Doesn't mean I get to it any faster but...

    Thanks everyone for your input.
    I think I have decided on a 4 patch type with solid blocks in between. It is the same or similar to what is on the QFK's site. All your ideas have been great and will be stored for future reference as I have 2 more to make in the future.

    The folks on this board are awesome! I ask for help and the response is immediate and overwhelming. You all are tops!

    I'm not sure that a rag quilt would be that great for a baby that is doing tummy time on it. I have heard horror stories about babies choking on the fringe or getting thier teeth or fingers or toes caught in it. Sorry, I love the rag quilts but only use them for couch quilts, never for bed or playtime.

    ksea - I agree. Can't be too careful. But I do have a lot of flannel saved up and a Rag quilt is definitely on my "to-do" list.

    This one is the quickest ever.

    Assorted width strips across the width of the fabric.

    Sew as many strips together to make a 50" long quilt.

    Add a border or not. Layer, quilt and bind.

    Both the Yellow Brick Road and the strip pattern sound interesting. I will book mark and put on my list. Thanks so much.
