[quote=deedum]My co-worker and I are planning on making a full size quilt for our boss.
The Turning Twenty using 20 fat quarters is easy but very nice when completed. You can put borders or make it borderless and it's a generous size. Don't forget to post a pic. :)
I also really like the Carpenters Star. It isn't difficult either but has a great look and size.

I just finished my husband's quilt. It was so easy especially since I'm still learning. The pattern is "Just Can't Cut It" by All Washed Up. I'll try to post a picture of it so look in pictures if you want. Look for a picture of Better Late then Never.

We made it in a day, and gave it to him for his birthday. I didn't have time to quilt it before he unwrapped it, but he folded it up on his chest and fell asleep on the couch with it. Ohhhh, sweet. I quilted it a few days later.
Wow, that is the most stunning quilt ever! Thanks for the link.
