    If there are a lot of stripes and plaids, a split rail is always pretty easy

    How about the 10 minute block? If you choose the fabric care-fully, it will look like mens' bowties on shirt fabric!

We expect him to come home this weekend but are not sure what the future holds. I believe in miracles and everyday he is still with us is a miracle to me. Thanks so much to everyone for all the suggestions and also for prayers. Will post when I decide and hopefully will be able to show you all the finished product on Monday. Eileen
    Snowball is easy. Cut 6 1/2" squares of fabrics and then four 2 1/2 squares for each 6 1/2 square. Sew the small squares onto the corners of the large square diagonally so the large square becomes an octagon with differently colored corners. Very easy, very fast and a great scrappy quilt.

    Agreed, simple 4 patch, but include pieces from the front with the pockets. He could put things in the pockets. :)

    ooohhh...how about the snowball and 9 patch....great pattern for using up "bits" of fabrics!
    A snowball block is one of the easiest you can do. Just think of a square with a triangle in each corner. Here is a pictures of one in men's shirtings I quilted for a friend. Don't forget to show us a picture when you decide what you will make!

    how about looking on quiltville.com
    Bonnie K. Hunter has LOTS of free patterns, and she uses mens shirts. I've done her patterns, but with regular fabric.

    WARNING-this site is addictive!
