Fav charity quilt pattern
 

Mine is Arkansas Crossroads. https://yeoldesweatshop.blogspot.com...-quilt-49.html Great way to use up lots of scraps. Especially left over jelly rolls. Works up easily into whatever size I need.

What's yours? Got a link to show?

Oh that is cute indeed!! thanks.

looks good. and many guild stash has small pieces.

When I make the 16 patches,I sew long 2 1/2" strips together and then cut into 5" lengths. Really speeds up the construction process!

This is a couple of mine. The first is 1 patch with sashing.This uses large prints.
The second is done with strips.
The thumb nail uses large prints with a rail fence. it's very effective.

I recently did an X and O quilt. It went together really quick. And a good use of scraps

Take 5 is a great blocky pattern that is easy and always looks good.

One of my favorite quilts to make for charity is merely sewing all 5” squares together. It looks great all scrappy, or with a coordinated collection of 10 fabrics or so. Easy to quilt with cross hatching across the squares.

Many many years ago a quilt shop I visited had made this quilt pattern up and displayed it on a bed...the owner called it Road to
St. Charles, MO. ...the town I was visiting. Funny but it's always stuck in my mind. I need to make one of these with my scraps as soon as the arthritis in my back calms itself down and I can sit long enough to sew.

French braid quilts and showering stars are my favorites, especially if going to places where teens might be the recipients. Both patterns appeal to teens of both genders.
the guys in my family/ friends love really colorful quilts, the girls are a bit more ( reserved) both of these patterns go together fairly quickly and the Showering Stars is great for using scraps

Thanks for the URL for Arkansas Crossroads. I am drowning in scraps and I plan to cut them into either 2.5" strips or 2.5" squares.

My go-to for a really quick quilt is Disappearing 4 Patch. It's so easy and is quickly made. I won't try to post pictures, but you all know this familiar pattern.

I'm often dealing with "collections" of fabrics more than scraps or coordinated patterns. I really like this Simplish concept of sashed squares and rectangles.

Here's pictures of 2, "Here Kitty Kitty" and "Horse Blanket"

edit -- darn, forgot the link!

I have done so many charity quilts now and most are learning patterns for me and are made as an example of something I have not done before. They are made to look the very best and are not a "sample" block but something that I want to see on a different lay out as well as how new patterns go together. So I don't have a favorite pattern. Yours is beautiful and I am enjoying seeing other blocks and quilt made for charity.

I have discovered a new-to-me block...wonky stars! Found several tuts on line and using the one that creates a 6" block. So scrappy. So much fun!

I like warm wishes a lot. Goes together quickly and is pretty straightforward.

I have made several of "Mary's Favorite Strippie Donation" pattern.

I just remembered one we made years ago. We made Patience Corners. It was really quick. I think we used 3 one yard fabrics

* Meet in the Middle. Created by Jo’s Country Junction. We’ve made it for church donation but instead of 2.5” strips, we cut scraps 5.5” x 16.5”.
* Disappearing 9 Patch. However I change it up & do not cut it apart. 5” squares (4 of fabric A, 4 of fabric B and 1 of fabric C for the center). It makes a nice masculine quilt.
* Mary’s Quick Strippie Quilt. I make the top & bottom strip 5.5” instead of 3.5”. Then I add 5.5” side borders.

I think my favorite donation pattern is square in a square. It eats up scraps well or can be a quick project if working from yardage and is easy to adjust the size from baby to adult size throw to bed quilt.

I also make anything that will diminish my collection of 2.5" squares. :)

WMUTeach, I like your square in square quilts…especially the colorful one. I’ll have to remember that pattern for future donations. I think Turning Twenty is also a good pattern (quick and easy) for charity quilts.
