A rag denim quilt would be the quickest quilt to make. It is a quilt as you go, and when you are done...you are really done. Just cut out each black the size you want, put a quick batting in the square or shape you have chosen and backing on it. The sew an inch in all the way around, raw seams out on top with the next square. She can use it on the floor, bed or as a throw quilt around her shoulders. Throw it the washer, dry it and use it again real quick. The last step in the quilt is to cut each seam so it has a fringe around it. We helped our three through college some years ago, but think it might be the same as now in college. Quick and easy and handy seems to hold through to present day. Quilting design is all up to you and whatever she likes.
