Even more simple is the Jelly Roll 1600 quilt - done in browns and taupe's it would look stunning.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. He is a WWII vetran. He though I had invented the moon after he saw it. ;) . I just hand tyed it and did quilting on the pillow part only. It was fast easy and fit him perfectly. |

I did one called "Bricklayer" - just squares and rectangles so it goes together pretty quickly.

Disappearing 9 Patch quilt is super fast, uses as few as 3 fabrics or more, and comes out looking great. Go to SEARCH here and look for D9P, and you'll see lots of examples.

I do Turning Twenty in homespun fabric. My sons all like them.
They are really fast and the guys like the masculine look. Turning Twenty [ATTACH=CONFIG]235811[/ATTACH] |
Here is one I made for my dh. KathyAire helped me recreate a quilt I had a picture of. I'd be happy to share the directions.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have decided to do a turning twenty with some homespun fabric I have.

Take five, log cabin D9p are all easy

I was thinking the same thing. I have some navy blue fabric with steers and anchors and have no idea what pattern to use.
