I just finished this brick/basket weave quilt using novelty fabrics. It goes together quickly since you are only adding the "sashing" to 2 sides. I used this pattern as inspiration

but I changed the brick size to 4.5 x 6.5, and the sashing to 1.5 wide (or wider to allow for squaring up to a 6.5 inch unfinished block).
