The gals in the Monday night meeting gather each week to make Linus quilts, and they seem to have a lot of easy patterns. I'm going to try and wade thru their stuff and see if I can find something eye-catching. I do like the Snowball quilt that was recommended and may give that one a try. I'm also toying with the idea of cutting big squares and using the embroidery part of my sewing machine to enhance the squares. Only bad things is that my materials are very bright (oranges, purples, etc) so perhaps that's a project for plain fabric like muslin or sheeting! I'm thinking it's just as hard to come up with a pattern as it is to sew the thing together!!!!
