I don't make simple patterns as a rule. I don't want to just crank out quilts for the sake of cranking them out. I usually work on 4 to 7 quilts at the same time. I'll have one or two in the cutting stage, and the rest in various piecing stages. Right now I have 6 in progress and I think I may need to start another twin size square in a square quilt. I have a niece in law that may be getting married and I think her intended has a young daughter.
Baby quilts are the only ones I generally work straight thru on. Nobody I have made a baby quilt for so far has known in advance if it's a boy or girl so I have to get them done quickly after the baby is born. I always make pinwheel quilts and just change the colors.
