In the 1980s, both my Quilt Guild and my Wearable Arts group made quilts as a Community Service project for two different nursing homes. These are very simple to make since there is no need to match points. I spent nearly one hour trying to locate this pattern and think you will enjoy this one. It is a good size for those in wheelchairs. Sorry I don't have a picture, but I think you will understand the directions.

Quick Brick Quilt

Each quilt will be 5 1/2 bricks wide and 12 rows long, making top 39" wide x 48" long. Additional borders are not required, unless you want to make it wider and longer.

Brick size--7 1/2" x 4 1/2" (cut 60 of these)
Half brick size- 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" ( cut 12 of these)
1. Make 12 rows, alternating ends (if you start with a full brick, end row with a half-brick and vice-versa)
2. Sew rows together, making sure ends alternate.
3. You can make this larger or smaller by adjusting number of bricks, or adding borders.
4. Add backing and batting and finish as desired (can be birthed or bound; if bound, do the quilting first. This quilt could also be tied, instead of quilting.)
