Thanks for everyone's comments. It has really helped me evaluate. I have decided that the mock cathedral windows quilt made with circles and a slit to turn it after sewing the circle wouldn't be such a time saver. It also is not a very efficient use of fabric. Perhaps a throw in this pattern would be better. For a bed quilt, I am thinking of a variation of nine patch. I am sure there are other patterns that would be fairly simple and then I will bite the bullet and have them machine quilted. Other suggestions for relatively quick but attractive quilt patterns for everyday use on the beds are welcomed.
