By far the absolute easiest quilt pattern I've come across on the web is this one: http://byannie.com/free_patterns.html it's appropriately called "Wickedly Easy" I've done the crib size 36 x 52 in about 3 1/2 hours. You just have to try it.
Here is one I did in pink and white
It's hanging over the lap size I did in blue and yellow
