I make the same pattern over and over for children's quilts for the hospital. It is usually a 4 patch with a 6" focus fabric block alternating. That gives me about a 3" grid to quilt just marking the large block. It is quick and easy and with the right fabric choices is very appealing to kids.
Once I had enough bed quilts. And had made several for my grandson, I started making donation quilts. I need a purpose for the quilt. I don't make a quilt just for the sake of making it without knowing what I'll do with it. I know, weird, right?
