Quick Quilt?

Quick Quilt?
I just heard that a friend of mine has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She's hospitalised and will undergo chemotherapy shortly. I would love to gift her with a quilt! However, so far all my quilts have been month-long "labours of love" that I hand-pieced and hand-quilted. I'm just getting the hang on machine quilting, have done a few practice pieces and a wallhanging, but no big quilt so far. So I am a bit hesitant... Is this doable? What would be a good pattern to use?
Thanks for all your help!

I think the fastest is a 3,4 or 5 strip rail fence. Just sew the WOF strips together, cut the strip sets in squares and assemble. Not my favorite from a design point of view, but can be attractive with pretty fabrics. Another super fast one is Yellow Brick Road.

THANK YOU for posting this "playswithcolor" - what a wonderful, quick quilt. I have just printed it off. I inherited my BFF's stash after she passed away and there is no way that I could cut up all of that fabric into little pieces and sew it back together in an intricate quilt in my lifetime.

My go-to patterns are Warm Wishes and D9P asd well. But this time I made a D4P and it went together well. Of course it was a baby quilt with 12 blocks, sashing, and a narrow border. For quilting, I cross-hatched diagonally. That took a little under two weeks. That was quick for me. I started with 6in. squares.
