    have twenty fat quarters for a quilt. ( all different colors ). I was going to do "Turning Twenty" but before I decide I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions. I would prefer a fairly easy pattern, as this one has to be done by Christmas.

    i made this quilt. You could get a twin size quilt from 20 fat qtrs. I used up fabrics i had on hand.

    Lucky Stars works up pretty quickly. You'd need to add background fabric, but it doesn't take too much. Here are some that I did.

    Turning Twenty, Yellow Brick Road and D9P always look nice too and are also quick.

    I started a yellow brick road 8/2/10 and had it completed by 8/22/10. Yellow brick road is my favorite pattern. :-)

    Yellow brick road or Lucky stars work up real fast.

    exactly..

    just make sure the center of the 9 patch is all the same color in all the blocks..the others can be scrappy. i am not sure of the reason why, but that is how we do them...

    to me it resembles a Turning twenty...when done scrappy.

    Summer Porch from "Quilt through the Seasons" by Eleanor Burns would make a pretty quilt.

    I've used the following pattern. It is extremely quick and easy. In fact, by doing a little math you would not even need the pattern. It is so adjustable for size also.
