The paster has been hinting around about a quilt. At last I was able to get the fabric. USC trojans.Oh my, just 3 colors. What do I make that is fast and easy for next Sun. ?

Help....thank you, Marge

How about a 4 patch and a big block similar to this pattern?

Their colors are cardinal and gold so I would suggest a quick Fence Rail, a 9 Patch or an 8 point star, including either black or white. You could crank it out in just an afternoon depending on the size of your quilt.

Good luck!

Even a large diamond quilt would be quick! (even though this is a picture of an afghan)

I made this one. Very easy. It's from Down the Rotary Road with Judy Hopkins, but would be easy to draft, and I can tell you measurements if you need. 3 "colors" plus white.

You can make them any size you want. Basically, you decide what finished size you want the big block, then add 1/2 inch to the size. For the 4 patches, divide your finished big block size by 2 and then add 1/2 inch to that number and cut 4 squares.

If you want a finished 8 inch block, you would cut your patches 4.5" square and an 8.5" square big block.

12" blocks would be 6.5" squares for the 4 patch blocks, 12.5" for the big block.

15 inch finished blocks, would be 8 inch 4 patch blocks, and a 15 1/2 inch big block.

Do a small "stopper" border, maybe 1 to 2", then add a larger border.

If you made the finished blocks 12 inches, then 4 wide would be 4 x 12 = 48", then add 2 inches for each side on the small first border, 48 + 2 + 2 = 52. Then a larger 6 inch final border (remember to cut as 6.5 inch) 52 + 6 +6 = 64".

Thanks Barb, Im making it now.It is easy, the only thing that is taking time is the cutting. Thank you everyone that gave me ideas. Have a joyful day. Marge

I'm glad I had an idea you liked. And I agree with you...cutting the pieces will take the most time with this pattern. Please post a picture when you get it pieced or finished.
