    Default Quick and easy but also interesting pattern?

    I need to make a house warming quilt and I do not have a whole lot of time. It should fit the queen size bed. Do you have any ideas or suggestions. The recipient is not very traditional and not a quilter but likes quilts and does not have any. Help! I am drawing a blank! Thanks!!!!!

    You might want to take a look at Bernatex fabric's De Novo pattern - you'd need to add a few repititions to get it to the size you want - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...,d.aWc&cad=rja I have made this quilt lap size - it was super quick ( http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...o-t205991.html ) and I know there are several other colorways posted on the board as well. And Bernatex has several free patterns that are pretty quick! Good Luck and show your progress!

    How about the 10 min Block? The D9P is also very quick but look to those who have no idea like its a lot of work.

    How about MSQC Merry Go Round quilt. It is super simple and if done in modern fabrics and colours it could look very modern. It would work up quickly because of the pattern and could be done in colours to match the bedroom. If you don't know the bedroom colours you could do it in white/gray/ black?
