Hi and welcome to the board. Not sure exactly what you are asking for. Are you looking for quilt patterns all made from a single patch, like all squares or all HSTs? or are you looking for single block patterns, where the quilt top is basically a giant single block, like this:

if you're looking for a pattern of one block, just enlarge one block, that easy.

The Carpenter Star pattern is a great one block pattern. If you want it longer than it is wide, you can adjust your borders. There is a tute on the board also. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...t-t152544.html . Divide your desired size by 8 and you have your finished block size.

No need for a pattern. Wide strips across...vary the depth of the strips. Throw in some kids prints. Vets love that.

Or smaller and shorter strips sewn diagonal qayg on a 12" block or any size block.

A checkerboard top is quick and easy. Two fabrics, all strip piecing and it's done almost before you start it.

If you want real quick and easy, you want a rag quilt (or "raggedy"). These flannel quilts can be as colorful or traditional as you choose with each block just a square of fabric, quilt as you go. Google the instructions; even I can make one in a weekend, start to finish: there is no binding!
The first I made was for my great uncle, a vet of WWII, and he loved it.

Our local Project Linus group meets at The Quilt Asylum in McKinney 4 times a year. I'm very curious why they don't use batting as well. My guess is that it's meant more as a cover, than for warmth.
