Well, I got a message last night that he had arrived, so...Other than using a panel, what would be the quickest pattern to use for a baby quilt?
Thanks for your input.

G'ma Kay, your quilt is so pretty! Very Girlie! I love it. Great idea.
EdieClay - I hadn't thought of charm packs, that is a great idea, but need to make this one from stash.
Update: I have the main part of my 4-Patch almost together. Yipee!

I quite often use panels and add borders to them. Then for quilting, I outline some of the figures in the panel.
1000 pyramids is a quick and easy quilt to put together also if you make the triangles not too small and don't make 1000 of them. Then I just stitch in the ditch at an angle across the quilt. It sounds like you have a lot of good ideas.

A couple years ago, I found an easy quilt website for Preemies to Teens. Many patterns to choose from here. Made 3 Rail Fence Quilts in 1 month for my teenage granddaughters.

I like that site. They are doing a good work.

Looking for Help? My grandson is heading off to college in a few weeks, and am looking for a quick quilt to make for him to take with him. The college is up north and gets very cold in the winter. Any ideas?

Denim quilts are nice for college kids. They double as picnic quits, throw rugs, whatever! I've made about a dozen of them in various patterns but my favorite was a large 9 patch with a jeans pocket in the middle square. Everyone loves them.
