I was just going to suggest pinwheels. I have found pinwheels to be easy and fun. I use the method taught on http://www.youtube.com. by the Missouri Quilt Company. Someone here on the board mentioned it. You'll love it and the blocks look more complicated to make then they really are and should impress your husband. :)

Sorry about the double post.

found the tutorial on youtube you were talking about. Very helpful. Thank you!

i agree with the suggestion of rail fence.

Your decisions (fabrics and pattern) are exactly what I would have suggested. Enjoy!

I love railfence did last month four of them gifts for kids and they loved them, and it is so fast and easy to do.

While looking for something to make for my cousin , I found this. I think it is so pretty and the direction look easy. http://www.sewmamasew.com/store/medi...sBabyQuilt.pdf
