It really goes together quickly. I am not too sure it is sophisticated, but my guys sure like this pattern. It starts with a layer cake, but I have done it with just five or six fabrics and that looked really good too.
I am so sorry to hear about your quilt. You were so gracious to not go ballistic when you heard the news. I think I'd want the quilt back also...maybe you can make a smaller quilt or something.
Here is a picture of one of my Double Slice Layer Cake quilts, in case it "rings your chimes."

The double slice quilt was going to be my suggestion too. Jenny has a tutorial on MSQC site on youtube. One of my favorites. Replay it so you can write down the instructions. It will be possible to finish before Christmas.
