My thoughts and prayers are with you. I made a "chemo cuddle quilt" for my B with the same issue. Used a Eleanor Burns pattern called Summer Porch, made it bigger and used man colors. While piecing and placing blocks on design wall, I said little prayers. The spots on his spine have healed and at 70 he is still working.
The quilt is stunning and Jim and Mar cuddle under it.

The Wickedly Easy quilt I just made is extremly easy and not alot of uninterupted lines to match up.

I attached the pattern to this post. Take a look and see what you think.

I'm finishing up one today, just need to add the binding I can post a pic of it after so you can see what a "real" one looks like.

So sorry to learn about your brother-in-law. This is just a suggestion. Once you decide on a pattern, size and color, ask we forum quilts to contribute a block. I am willing to help and I am sure there are others who will also. Just ask. We are a generous and compassionate people.

That's a GREAT idea! I would love to help as well!

Here is a sample of the Wickedly Simple quilt. I just finished the binding on it today.

That's a wonderful idea I think. Count me in! I'd love to help!

Me too. What a great idea. Tell us the colors and pattern and give us a short deadline to get it to you.

On the off chance you just want an answer to your question, I think bargello quilts are incredibly easy and fast but they always turn out looking great.

I'm sorry about your BIL.

Turning Twenty is a simple pattern and makes up wonderfully in flannels (prewashed) or cottons.

Disappearing 9 patch looks lots more complicated that it is. Set it on point is not hard....

an absolutely gorgeous quilt that's very easy to make; I don't know if it has a name
Use only Batiks
Cut lots of 5" squares and make a 9-patch. Most friends use a constant in each 9-patch block; I don't bother.
Cut in half horizontally and vertically, and resew after rearranging.
I usually make four 9-patch blocks, cut them and then mix them up before resewing.
Do not use anything larger than 5" squares, it doesn't look good when larger.
When assembling the top, sash with a batik that reads like a solid. Up to you what size it will be; I cut 2 1/2" sewing to a 2" sash. You can add a 5" border (cut 5 1/2") to make it larger if you like.
I'd be happy to e-mail you a picture [email protected].
Good luck.
We're in the process of doing one for a library raffle in reproduction fabrics. Very beautiful, but not as gorgeous.
