I agree with wesing, a quilt made with a 4-patch and solid square out of a fun print makes a quick and easy quilt. I also make a 9-patch version. For the 9 -patch version I will cut 5 strips of fabric, 4 of one color fabric (plain or small print) and 5 of an alternate color. I will pull colors from the focus fabric for the 9-patch, and you can measure the 9-patch (or 4-patch for that matter) to get the measurement for the plain block. Hope this helps, but these are my "go-to" patterns for baby quilts.
