I have heard the Turning Twenty quilts are fast and easy...I haven't made one, tho...I have made several quilts from the 10 minute block book by Suzanne McNeill, here is a link to the book:

She also has a 2nd book out:

I think if you go to youtube there are several videos that you can probably view and from them you can pretty much get the gist of how to make the blocks...some of them are really pretty...and they really are quick.
Good luck to you, and its a nice thing you are doing...hope the man gets better quickly...burns are so painful to recover from...
