I agree that a jelly roll quilt would be quick and very easy to quilt. I can usually complete one in 4 days. It takes me 4 days because I work full-time and only sew in the evenings. Night 1 - cut 40 -- 2 1/2" strips WOF and sew them together end to end (cut 18" off the first strip you use). Night 2 - Sew the strips into the top and sandwich quilt layers. Night 3 - Quilt with a straight line on the inside of each strip or do a stitch in the ditch. I think straight line inside each strips looks nicer. I've done decorative stitchings on each seam line but that takes a long time because it's decorative. Square up and sew binding to one side. Night 4 - Sew down binding by hand. I usually give it wash on night 5 and it's ready to go. This is my favorite charity quilt to make with novelty fabrics. I made myself one using Halloween strips and it's as cute as can be.

DP 9 is my favorite also. No matching patterns, just squares.

You are just a gem for doing this .. Safe trip! I am stuck on the 10 minute block; I did a lap quilt in rectangles for a friend for Christmas- maybe that would work.

The 10 minute block is sooo fast! Also, turning twenty. The jelly roll makes a fast lap quilt. Wish I was there to help you. Hugs.
