Donna, for something quick and easy and is striking, in my opinion, is the Take 5 quilt. It takes 5/8 yd of 5 different fabrics...If you want to make it larger, just increase yardage to 7/8 yd, and cut more blocks... It makes up so fast. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents..

Oh.....and I also made a quilt for my nephew!

Here's my problem.....I'm still trying to finish up a quilt I started for my niece for her birthday (which was October 23). I have a quilt in mind I'm going to make for my oldest sister for her birthday in March, and I think it will go together fairly quickly. The problem is, my other sister's birthday is in June. I want to make a quilt for her as well, but I'm obviously pressed for time. Do any of you have any suggestions for a quilt that will go together fast, that's fairly easy, but doesn't look like it's quick and easy? I don't want her to feel like I've just thrown something together, even though that's pretty much what I'll probably have to do. Any and all help would be very much appreciated! :c)
