Default Patterns for Community Service Quilts

I've been a member of a local guild for a year now. We just formed a "small group" dedicated to community service projects. What we do mostly (as I understand it) is baby quilts for the local group that supports young mothers, children's quilts for the local Presbyterian home and quilts, wall hangings, door decorations for the elderly in medicaid nursing homes. We also have a new chairperson for Community Service. Our retiring chairperson is a hard act to follow. We have a storeroom full of fabric that isn't scraps (for lack of a better description). We donated about 300 quilts last year, some of which were given to us by other groups.

So, what we need are some simple patterns that will make up quickly. Right now, we are working on "I Spy" quilts, as I have tons of already cut charms. The pattern we are using, I got from an online friend who does lots of Community Service quilts. We also made some small "kits" (10 each) of square in a square for other members to make and return.

As I understand it, if you make up kits people will take them.

Do you have any great, simple (as in quick) quilt patterns to recommend?
