I'm finding myself burried in ~1/8 -1/2 yd pieces. I'm like a magpie seeing something shiny at my sewing my group. I gravitate towards the smaller pieces thinking I can do something then I have a whole bunch and I lose my creative-ness to plan or sew because I just have so much. I have a system for small scraps I posted photos the other day. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t176598.html
The bigger pieces I feel I should be doing something more-not sure what. I also have a cutting fabric phobia. It's like as long as the fabric is whole there is a lot of potential.
I've done all the basics-4 patch, 9 patch, d9p, rail fence, scrappies from quiltville and maryquilts, lasagnas , best wishes, log cabins.
What quilt pattern have you used are fast and still attractive, when you need a quilt quickly? I still want them to be quality even it it's fast.
Please include links to unusual ones or write out directions if it's your idea and you want to share.
Oh, I make QFK's and QOV's.

Strips and Ladders for a guild raffle quilt. Needed something the members of the guild could do quickly and easily. Then I can add the applique and tada!

The District quilt by Lyn Brown is fast, easy and looks great. I have made 2 recently as baby quilts. If you want to make this really fast, you can use the pre cut layer cakes and charm squares.

I like tube quilting. Sew two jelly roll strips together and press (Group A). Sew a second two together and press (Group B). Sew Group A to Group B on both sides, right sides together. Use a 90 degree angle with the point barely touching the second A-B seam and cut the triangle. Repeat the length of the tube, alternating sides of the seam. You should end up with eight triangles that give you 8 squares (fabric on the diagonal) when pressed open. Arrange them into two blocks & sew together. Repeat until you have the size quilt you want. For a lap quilt, I use 10 strips of each of 4 colors and an additional 5 strips of one color for the binding. You should end up with 24 blocks plus binding.
