I will be participating in a carnival pf sorts to help raise money for Tymeless Hearts. A non profit organization that helps families with with babies that are born with heart defects. They help the families with traveling expenses, hotel costs and what ever else is needed.
Anyway I will have a booth where I will be selling lap quilts and baby quilts. I am planning on giving part of my profits to the organization as well as a quilt that will be auctioned off.
I will be spending January cutting out quilt tops and hopefully spend the 5 months assembling these quilts. I am hoping to finish 30 or quilts.
I have already cut out 5 tops but am running out of ideas for quick quilts to make. I am talking about tops that I can fully assemble in 3 days or so. The choices I have made so far are a 9P, 4P, brick quilt, 4P with HST's. I have enough fabric cut out for 2 of each of these.
Here are some pictures of the fab's I will be using. I have been waiting for them to whisper in my ear what they to be. LOL!!! But they are not talking to me.
If you have made a quick quilt can you please post a pic of it for me to see. I work better from pic's. I don't do patterns very well. It seems to restrict my creativity.
Thank you ahead of time for any ideas you can come up with.
Carrie

BTW the carnival will be June 25 and an all day event.

There are a bunch of quick quilts our there - the Warm Wishes one is really fast and looks great every time. I made one and it took me only an afternoon to piece it :)

I think just about anything that you can sew in strips, rotary cut and reassemble will be a quick one for you.

Warm Wishes, Sunshine and shadows, trip around the world (both of the previous use big squares!)

D9P can be used many times in different combinations.

Large size appliques, use a large center panel with large applique, than just a row of blocks for border.

I'll look at at some sites. Be back!

I was going to say Warm Wishes as well. I was able to Whip up 5 of those and 6 of the "Downey" in 2 weeks.

Yellow brick road is easy. You can also do the same pattern again, with different fabrics.

No link, but bento box, square in a square, large ohio star, large strip log cabin.

Carrie, that is so sweet of you! I'm no good at this kind of stuff because I just grab a couple fabrics and start sewing and deal with issues as they fly at me. It's not fast or easy but then I would be bored any other way. Plus my attention span just won't allow it.
I will be sending good wishes your way tho :)

You can use the turning 20 idea with fewer FQ's. Just stack them up,cut them, rearrange them, cut them again until you have a cut stack ready to sew back together. The only requirement is no two alike fabrics go into the same block.
Another quick one is the 'Point-less Wonder'. Very easy and quick.

Pinwheel is my favorite block, and I've made a couple of baby quilts out of FQ's with them. Cut 5" squares, draw a line diagonally across and sew 1/4" from each side of that line. You need two squares to make one pinwheel. Gives the quilt lots of movement.

Just found a picture of it. I have more pictures of it at home, this one is before it was quilted. What was nice about this style is that I could use a busy fabric for the pinwheels and a more simple fabric for the alternating blocks, or you could do it the other way around.

I love the Wickedly Easy pattern. It's free just google it. Happy New Year and good luck with top making. :)
