I am from a neighboring town to Joplin MO. Niece's house was one that was destroyed. By the grace of God they are alive. But many other families were not that lucky. I am wanting to make her a new "Babo"...I am needing an easy pattern that won't take much time to complete. I am helping with several organizations right now and my time is limited...............any suggestions.
Or do you know any group that makes crib size quilts and sends to Disaster Area's.

Thank you so much for your offer to help me. I am struggling with words to express how much I am moved by the generosity of everyone. I have received a private message from wonderful person offering to mail an already completed quilt for Ella. As I was telling her in my reply, in this part of the mid-west we are used to doing what ever is needed to take care of ourselves. It is so humbeling to be offered the gift of a quilt. I am new to quilting and really don't have a stash (as you all call it) yet. But will build one to have material ready to be able to send a quilt made with love to someone else some day.

Welcome from Germany/Kansas. I would suggest a Disappearing Nine Patch. There's TONS of tutorials, it works up quick and is VERY simple. I can usually work one up in an evening if it's for a child. Best part is that you can either quilt in the ditch or tack tie for a fast finish. Blessings!
