Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My favorite quick quilts are Rail Fence and Yellow Brick Road. Trip around the world can be done quickly if you use a larger strip in the strip set.
I made a throw using the 3 Dudes pattern. I think I used 2 jelly rolls. That is my favorite quilt! I give away the quilts I make; but I just couldn't part with that throw. Jenny Doan has lots more fast, easy quilts. Right now, I am hand sewing binding on a Double Slice quilt. That is a very fast quilt to make. Most of Jenny's quilts are throw size.
I would check either Missouri Star's tutorials or Moda Bakeshop tutorials - they both use pre-cuts - unfortunately most patterns always include additional yardage or plain layer cakes or charm packs along with your printed packs
MSQC double slice makes a nice quilt but is bigger than lap size
I was going to say Double Slice as well. (Jenny Doan tutorial) I have made 2 of those, and have 2 more to make. I really like the pattern, which is made with a Layer Cake precut. It makes a bit larger than a lap quilt, mine measureOriginally Posted by bakermom
about 54x63 with no borders. But you would not have to use all the squares if you want a smaller size. The blocks measure at 9" square, finished.
With a jelly roll you can make the strip and flip quilt from Cluck cluck sew (free pattern and tutorial on her website, can't cut and paste the link right now). I made a lap size with a jelly roll of Botanics and it took me only a few hours. The result is very nice. If you want to experiment with the
LA a simple quilt design will give you more freedom, so a strip quilt may be a good idea.
The jelly roll race. With 40 2.5" strips, you can make a lap quilt. This is probably the quickest quilt you can make. The strips should have some contrast (lights and darks).

Elanor Burns Quilt in a Day for making Log cabin blocks, then sewn into whatever pattern you like of those is very fast. My favorite is Barn Raising. Never got it down to one day but then agin, I ain't no speed demon like some of you folks.

I just finished a baby quilt top using the Disappearing nine patch with 5" squares (charm sq. size). Sewed the top this past weekend while all the Super Bowl hoopla was going on : ) Have a second one cut and ready to sew. The darker charcoal squares were left over Minkie from our DD Christmas quilt backing. Maybe not the best placing of color, but it used what I had. Got the bright lime green flannel with white dots for the backing for under $3/yd at JoAnn's yesterday on sale.
Now, the one thing that made me say "ooooooh...." when I saw your quilt was the color placement. it's great and very modern.
