My daughter wishes to make a fairly easy quilt!! any pattern ideas? cant be any girly kind of patterns cause it will be going on her an her boyfriends bed. thank you all

the ten minute block is easy to do and very quick. you can use what ever colours you like and make the squares any size you like. from 4" to 10" or more

Disappearing 9 block :?: :?: easy, lots of colors and looks really hard :shock: :lol:

Triple Rail. Once the strips are pieced and subcut, the blocks are done. Nothing faster!

Warm Wishes?

What about a blue jean quilt?

You can get jeans for almost nothing at yard sales, thrift stores, etc. Better yet ask friends for old jeans.

rail fence

Yellow brick road.

Cheaper by the half dozen is a fairly ez quilt. One is shown in todays newletter.

"quilt as you go"

I agree: disappearing 9-patch and can pick any design that you like after cutting

Rail fence, or Yellow Brick Road, or Turning Twenty. :)

triple rail is pretty easy.

I think the 10 minute block quilt in shades of browns, blues or greens would be great for a man.

I agree with Dina. Warm Wishes LOOKS hard, but its really a beginner quilt. its my favorite go-to quilt when I need one QUICK!

What about the Jelly Roll quilt with the continuous strips? I haven't made it yet but the ones I've seen here on the board are beautiful and I would think it would nice with "manly" fabrics. I'm going to make one in plaids for one of my sons.

Thats what I was thinking A very good beginner's pattern

I just found this site yesterday - take a look and see if any of them look appealling

Rail fence in guy colors! I made one for my husband with fish for our boat and he loves it.

Where do I find info on the ten minute block?

Kaye Woods - 6 hour quilt! Easiest I have ever made - long ago my 8 and 11 year old girls made several. All I did was cut and bind.

I like warm wishes or a BQ pattern. Quick and easy.

I edited my 6 hour quilt one but it didn't show up. Years ago, my 7 and 11 year olds made several. All I did was cut and bind

I agree with Rails. It is quick and easy and looks good.

second this one

Maple Island has a quilt called "Hot Shots" it is easy.

I agree, the ten minute block!!

Does your daughter already know how to sew? If so, then she's likely to do well with any of the suggestions posted. (Note that I personally found the Yellow Brick Road pattern impossible to follow:(, others love it.)

If your daughter doesn't sew, then a big 4 patch is about as basic/easy as you can get. It is a good beginner quilt because it teaches straight line sewing, matching corners, and allows the beginner to get to know the sewing machine without the pressure of having to make a lot of blocks - a quick success that builds confidence. Once the big 4 patch is made, your daughter could decide to make a more complex set of blocks and use the 4 patch as a backing.

Good luck and have fun with your daughter!

The disapearring 9 patch is the easiest quilt I've found and it looks difficult.

Rail fence or 4 patch

I always like the simple nine-patch as it is. A rail fence is easy. Good Luck and let us know your decision!

do a search for the 10 minute block it will give you plenty to look at
