I really like Books #2 and #3 in Ursula Reikes Quilting for Babies series (#2 - More Quilts for Baby: Easy As ABC and #3 -Even More Quilts for Baby: Easy As ABC). I use these patterns for baby quilts but also alot with non-baby but fun theme fabric for the kids, and even adults in my life -- I just use more squares to make the quilts bigger. Most of patterns are strip patterns of some type making them easy and fast.
