A jelly roll race goes really fast--and then put an appliqued "something" on it (big flower or something that might compliment one of the fabrics in the quilt).

Let me see if I can find a picture of one from a layer cake and one from five fabrics. I was very pleased with mine, and you might find the idea pleasing to you. ...Okay, the first picture is from a layer cake and the second is five different fabrics. This quilt has 42 ten inch blocks, (same size as a layer cake) but I have made a lap top size with 30 blocks....Um, might have a picture of that too. Yes, found it. It is the purple one. Here is the site.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxC-0T5lXw4 Dina |
Did you see the 'Silly Goose' quilt tutorial by Jenny Doan? I don't know of an easier block than that. You can make it with layer cakes instead of charm packs. You can make that quilt in a couple of hours AT THE MOST!!!

got a whole different way for you to go- try really big applique- on 16 inch blocks with very simple pieces - I make baby quilts this way - one 16 inch block a big elephant applique and keep putting on big different boarders until I like it - I can make one quilted and all in about 4-5 hours and people have asked me to make them for new little ones I don't even know- machine applique with simple bold patterns are amazingly fast and simple

Jenny from Missouri Star just posted a new video called "Silly Geese", I believe. It looks super simple and could be made using any size block, hope you find a pattern you like.

Rail Fence and Warm Wishes are other quick/easy ones. The fabric is what really makes the difference. The simplest quilt can look plain or elegant, depending upon the fabric used! Oops..I am using my Kindle and it has a mind of its own...it showed up your name as "News is"! I had to go back and fix it. BTW, l have the same nickname as you, but spelled differently. Neecie.

Another fun block is the ten minute block, it can be found on y-tube. It is fun and works up quickly made with a layer cake. One cake will make a long lap size so it can tuck under feet.
