I like the Mahjongg pattern by Anne Wiens. It is my favorite "Quick" pattern for quilts for all ages. It has a large block that you can use a large focus print for, so it is good for kids. I just made myself one last week at a retreat--which has a larger brown with red flowers focus fabric for the large blocks. So it really is a versitale pattern that can be made for all age groups. It is a very quick quilt to sew together.
