    The easiest and quickest quilt to make are squares of at least 6 x 6 in. squares, sometimes same size batting included inbetween, depending on the thickness of the material. It's the shag quilt. You sew big X's in the middle between the two squares, leaving 1/2 inch on the edges, which you clip to make it shaggy and it's so quick. You can make it as big as you want. Here's one I made for my new granddaughter. Hope this helps.

    This was an easy, no brainer. I love jelly rolls.

    The easiest ones I make are string quilts. Just sew long scrap strips together onto a square muslin base . Then sew the squares all together in a pleasing design. I don't even put a border on them. They're pretty enough without borders. The best part of it is that you get to use up a lot of scraps. 8-)

    I am currently making up wall hangings and full size quilts for seasonal decor. Of course, I have already over committed myself for Christmas gifts. I will make 2 queen size Cmas quilts with a bit more hand work in them ie one machine quilted and one hand appliqed and hand quilted. Plus some other stuff.

    This is AMAZING? And you made it for your wife?? That is so sweet. My husband thought my reverse stitching was my machine "down-shifting," lol. Did you make it for a special occasion?
