    Default Easy but elegant suggestions for FAST KING quilt?

    I'm wanting to make a king-size quilt for our bed done in ivory/white/soft beiges or even just 2 colors is fine. i have a mix of fat-quarters in those shades. I don't mind SOME piecing but less is more when working w/ this much fabric. I know bc I made one a couple of years ago. Something chic/classy ...but fast and easy!! Thoughts?

    Pat Wys has two books on Knockout Neutrals, perhaps you could find a pattern or inspiration there.

    Rail fence is easy. 4 or 9 patch is also easy.

    Given your fabric and preferences, I would be tempted to just sew 18" squares on point.

    Since you have a mix of FQ in those shades, you could outline with one other color maybe a soft brownish/darker beige.

    I googled "neutrals quilt" and looked at images - this one looks easy, yet elegant - http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2015/...als-quilt.html

    Pick a favorite block and make it giant size. Four giant size blocks sewn together to make one big quilt. I like Warm Wishes pattern for fast quilts. I made the squares any size I want. http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/d...html?idx=5185_

    I think Debby Maddy's labyrinth pattern would go quickly and look striking http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/sto...3&Item_ID=1266
