Sure, you could easily do 4 quilts between now and ... June? July? I'd pick
4 different colors and keep to a simple 9-patch alternating with plain blocks, one in each color. (About to start a scrappy one in blues myself.) Also known as Single Irish Chain.. Whatever you make, they will be blown away! Roberta in D"John" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news: snipped-for-privacy@j27g2000cwj.googlegroups.com...
I'm in awe of anyone who would even aspire to this much less actually do it. lol I'd suggest Warm Wishes.
I think I'd lean toward Single Irish Chain, too. You could use a larger print for the plain blocks. The 9-patches go fast with chain piecing. A nine-inch block would go pretty fast.

How about a sampler type quilt..... only 4 of each block, but several different simple blocks. With sashing and borders it wouldn't take much.
4-patch(or double 4-patch if large block), 9-patch(or double), snowball, shoo-fly, split 9-patch, and so on. If you did 12" blocks, set 3x3, with 3" sashing and inner border. Add a 6" border and you have a 60" quilt.Very doable in my opinion. But not sure I would want to do 4 quilts that size the same pattern for all the blocks. hmmmmmmmmm although it is pretty close to making a king size quilt block number wise, probably.
