Don't give up! Here is an easy quilt that I made for my grandson.
for full sized bed, Cut 128 oblong patches5 1/2 x 10 1/2" and 14squares 5 1/2" using the materials of your choice, kind of like a scrappy quilt. every other row in the pattern will require a 5 1/2" square at each end of quilt. Goes together really quickly.
