The easiest one I ever made was this one https://www.andoverfabrics.com/Quilts/Passport.pdf
They're easy because there are no matching seams. I just lay my pieces across the top of my bed in rows and re-arrange them so that there are not a bunch of same colors together, sew it all, and trim to make the sides even. Great scrap busting quilt. I'm going to make some for the nearby nursing home for Christmas.
You got one to share?

Tranum, are you from the Midwest? Reason I ask is because that was the only place I ever heard people say cement instead of concrete. Cement is an ingredient in the making of concrete. One person explained to me that it is like saying "I will bake you a nice loaf of flour." Haven't thought of that in years, thanks for the memory.

Yes, Gay I did see those but it seems to have been a series and I could not find one like this one. I hope we do!
The series they had of Cottage Romance was for learning different blocks and Cottage Romance is the name of fabric. *sigh*
Thanks for the help and any more info you can give. I tried to draw it and got a couple of the big blocks (I think) but that's all I could figure out!
Enjoy your day!

It seems every quilt I make gets harder, as I get pickier and pickier about matching seams, cutting fabric, marking everything, pinning too much. I love the good ol' days when I just sewed things together, didn't fork out $$ on fabric, just used my leftover scraps. Of course, I'm not sewing clothes for my daughter (she's in her 50's) my mother (she passed away) myself (never looked like I hoped it would) so I am not accumulating any scraps, so I am very well stashed (pun intended). I never met a batik I didn't like.
