I was checking off the names of charity quilts and quilts for Christmas gifts and I thought that I was done. Some how I missed 4 people on the list. Now I need to come up with some ideas for 4 fast quilts to make in time for Christmas. Any quick quilt ideas?
|
I like the jelly roll challenge quilts.
|
Alternate a solid block with a pieced one, such as 4 patch, 9 patch. Disappearing 9 patch, some of the FQ quilt patterns are pretty quick to work up, Lucky Stars (my avatar), Yellow Brick Road. Also, even just blocks in various prints with plain sashing is quick and pretty.
|
wow, you must have a very long list to be able to miss 4. you are quite the prolific quilter. do you have any pics?
|
I like the disappearing 9 blocks.

Can't wait to see all yourgreat quilts!!
|
I like churn dash or monkey wrench...same block. Of fast flying geese the no waste way
|
I'd do one of the Jelly Roll race patterns with a couple of wide borders, or with 2 jelly rolls.
|
What about one of those 10 minute blocks, I think they look neat.
|
How about a panel? There are some real cute ones out there!
|
Jelly Roll, rail fence, 10minute block, flying geese (The Ricky Timms, 1 seam way!!) Just a few suggestions!!!!

If I am in a rush, there is NOTHING as easy as a BQ2 pattern....... Takes only about 2 hours from cut to finish. EXCEPT when doing directional prints !!! I have TWO more quilts to go and then I will be DONE for the year !!! :lol:
|
What is the BQ2 pattern? Love this brown and blue with the horses.

I love yellow brick road! fast and easy using fat quarters
|
I have just finished one and it took me 7 hours from start to finish for all the cutting and piecing and it is a very good size. I will post it in the photo section under the title of Big Blue Ice. Great pattern and good instructions
|
OMG 4 more??? 10 minute blocks, rail fence, 9p...I'm sure others will come up with more :) Happy Quilting!!

that bq2 looks a bit complicated. easy?
|
I do ALOT of 4 patch for my quilts I do for charity or donations!
|
I like the sound of the BQ2 pattern. ManiacQuilter 2 I like your fabrics. I have the pattern and plan on making a few also. Good Luck in getting 4 quilts done in time for Christmas!!
|
These quick patterns sound good. It would be nice if the source would be written so we could look it up. I have made 8 quilts for xmas too. I made 2 stack & slash with fat quarters. As many blocks depending on how lg.you want. I made 2 from the "Turn Twenty" book. These are a couple of quick ones. I would send pic, but I need someone to help me with that process. I can sew but I'm not to computer "savvy". LOL Nancy
|
I have this BQ2 pattern and yours looks better than what i could envision to do with mine!
But like other's suggestion....rail fence, 4 patch are among my ideas too |
How about a pinwheel from a couple of charm packs????
|
Warm Wishes is usually my quick, go-to pattern. Also the Downey quilts that have an 8" solid block alternated w/a 4 patch is quick and easy.

I like all of the BQ for a quick quilt and 4 blocks make a baby quilt.
|
My daughter and I were able to finish a "braided" quilt top in one day. Great easy pattern and looks amazing when done.
|
It looks like you have a long list of ideas. I would say the rail fence and Quilt in a Day Log Cabin go really fast. I would like to see the pattern for the D9P and D4P.
|
My horsey loving DIL would absolutely love that quilt. Very very nice.
