You've gotten lots of great suggestions and I can't think of a thing to add. Hope your daughter is doing well and good luck with all your quilts.

I did this one and made the top of the quilt one large square for a king sized bed. It turned out just beautiful and did not take me a tremendous amount of time. Here is the link. http://www.quilterscache.com/C/Carpe...heelBlock.html

I have been trying to make this block, but just can't figure out what size the stripes should be... What size did you use for this quilt?

The ten minute block is great...I just made one with charm packs....It looks even better with the smaller blocks but goes really fast.

Thanks mighty! There were so many great suggestions on here, and I looked at each and every one of them! I LOVE the French Braid and will definitely do one of those at some point. Love the Shadowbox too! But as soon as I looked at Debbie Maddy's designs, the Labyrinth quilt (which quiltstringz also mentioned) really jumped out at me! Looks simple enough, yet it's gorgeous!

On another note, on looking at all the designs that people suggested, I came to realize that as I looked at the pictures, more often than not I thought to myself, "I see how that's done. I could do that!" I've been quilting for about 2 1/2 years now, and I guess I'm finally getting to the point where I can actually SEE how to do some quilts rather than needing detailed instructions for them. Maybe I'll be designing my own someday? LOL!

Two of my favorite fast quilts are "Just Can't Cut It", and "Walkabout", especially if one of your fabrics has a large print. These look great, and go together very quickly.

Almost always I go to the Take 5. Latest one I did for a Silent Auction at our church: You can put borders on or not. Blocks are 12", so you can go 4 across/5 down for a lap size or add more for larger quilt. The borders on this are 2-1/2" and 6-1/2".

I'm a big fan of Irish chain. Only two fabrics, and half the blocks are plain. Done with the right combination of fabrics, they can be gorgeous. I try to get a stunning print for the plain blocks.

These are really great patterns that go together very fast and look wonderful in every fabric combination I have seen.
