What pattern, a free one, if possible, could be sewn up quickly? Thinking I might do one before the 11th, have tons of material, but really am in need of something very easy and quick to sew up. Thanks for any suggestions.

you could do a disappearing 9 patch

What about a 4p to 9P, warm wishes?

Rail fence

If I need a quick quilt I alternate 4 patches or 9 patches and snowball blocks, You can cut and piece in just a couple of days. One if it is n ot too large.

This one is simple and elegant ...

You are right that is a simple and elegant pattern. Looks quick and easy.

That does look easy. I use the rail fence when I need to hurry, but this looks great too.

Great Quilt ! Looks good and am printing it as I reply>

I visited that sight and they have some really neat things. I bookmarked it so I can go back and look at it more.
