I agree with 10 min. block or D9P. If you have the charm packs the D9P goes together in an afternoon.
Good luck! |

For quick & gorgeous, you can't go wrong with the original BQ quilt using only 3 fabrics. Tip....don't use directional fabrics! I am a slow sewer & after cutting, which takes one afternoon, I can sew a queen size of this pattern together in one other afternoon. I made this for a BIL who was going through chemotherapy. You can use different big blocks to focus on more than one fabric, but for me, I love the 3 color ones. Just make sure you have enough contrast.
The BQ pattern does not call for borders, but since I am a little bit traditional and I like them, I added them anyway. |

And Bernatex has several free patterns that are pretty quick! Good Luck and show your progress!

I agree with the 10 minute block, check out tutorial on u-tube. It only took me 3 hours to do a full sized top.

The x's and o's quilt is super simple and can be made very quickly. Check out Missouri star quilt company or quilt in a day on vimeo.

I vote for lap quilt...maybe larger. Fast and you know it will be used. I never I mean never make bed size quilts. What if they don't like the color combo? Scarppy lap quilt..always w/b used for tv watching or even napping!!
