    My absolute favorite is Warm Wishes, a Linus pattern at the Quiltmaker Magazine web site. We use it a lot for our Community Service Quilts, as every quilt looks different depending on the fabric.

    Rail Fence. It was the first pattern I ever did. Now I can make a lap size in a few hours! I like it because there is no thinking about the layout since the blocks are the same and there are not a lot of seams to match up.

    I made a baby quilt like this without a pattern. It was super fast I made two in two days. They came out really cute.

    I love using the strip tube method. You can find tutorials for it on Missouri Star and a lot of places. Here is one:http://www.conniekresin.com/2012/08/...a-Strings.html

    It is also referred to as Summer In The Park. Here's the Missouri Start tute:

    I used a jelly roll for the one I'm showing but you could use whatever you have on hand. I just realized I never took a photo of the finished quilt. Good thing I still have it.

    Love that one in the lower right. So simple but so effective.

    Jenny Doan of MSQC is the QUEEN of quick quilting. She has shortcuts for everything and loads of cute ideas. I've done her "Summer In the Park" quilt with really quick strip piecing, and her "Double Slice Layer Cake", which is a stack and whack. Here are mine, they don't look like they were quick to piece!

    She also has a really quick and easy way to make pinwheels.

    9-patch set on point always looks good. Friendship star is another one that goes together fairly quickly.
