Yellow Brick Road seems really quick, I used the pattern-directions, but did it in pinks and greens as they are my mom's favorite colors. The directions tell you how many FQs needed, cut and strip piece. Now I need to quilt it.
Also Missouri Star Quilt has a tute on a fast block with 3 seams. They did it with a cake layer pack, and had large blocks. Some on here did the same pattern with smaller squares, making smaller blocks.
Large pinwheel might also go quickly.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for your friend! {{{hugs}}}
9 patch might be good since that's got a lot of straight lines and can be done assembly line. Do you need fabrics or blocks? I'll be glad to do a block for you.

Trip around the world seems to be going very quickly, especially if you strip/tube piece it, which is what I'm working on. Mine is king sized, so it's taking a bit longer (add in the fact that I'm a fairly new quilter, so it's probably taking even longer!)

sewing rectangular strips together is a nice easy way to go, the color combinations can be bright and cheerful or subtle, or you can mix a bunch of prints and solids up for an interesting varied look. The strips can be all different lengths too. Good way to use up scraps and get a beautiful result.

Gads, there are so many quick quilt patterns: rail fence, coin quilts, strip quilts, big block quilts, and more.
More importantly I would think is to choose something you like .. then the sewing will be more fun for you and therefore quicker.
