Yellow Brick Road, Rail Fence, Disappearing 9 patch are a few that come to mind. Or you could just sew various squares of fabric together, that goes together very quickly especially if you have charm packs or layer cakes on hand. Or Missouri Star Quilts has a tutorial showing how to whip up a pretty quilt using Layer Cakes. It's called Double Layer Cake or something like that. Enjoy!

Cheaper by the dozen is very quick and easy. Just can't Cut it is a quilt I have made for my 2 daughters and a newphew. I love that pattern. You only need 1 focal fabric for a big block and then 5 other cordinating fabrics for the other block. It is quick, easy, and loks very nice. I am currently making a Disappearing 9 patch in a 4 color way for my graddaughter --but it does take longer to make when making it with only 3 or 4 colors, rather than if you make is scrappy. If you make it scrappy, it goes quick.

I like Disappearing 9 Patch a lot. I just did my first one last night using a Moda Charm Pack I got from Missouri Star Quilt Co. I think it took about 2 hours from the time I opened the charm pack to having it ready for borders!

A jelly roll quilt is really fast if you need it. I made one in a day. They use a jelly roll obviously. We did it at our quilt shop as a race. I found that the ones made with bali pops looked the best. If you search you tube for jelly roll race you can see a how to video. Basically you sew all your strips together to make one huge long strip, bring the ends together then cut the seam and keep repeating that until you get to the end, then you square your quilt because the ends will be ragged and jagged but you dont lose much of your quilted material if you take your time. Then we put 2 boarders around it and ended up with a nice lap quilt. You need at least 40 strips and if you really get energetic you can cut up your own strips from your stash. They need to be 2 1/2" by 42-44". My Dd saw it and loved it and asked me to give it to her. I was shocked because she had never really shown any interest in any of the quilts I had done before.
