Maybe someone here can help me decide on a quick quilt for my granddaughter's 13th birthday. She picked out a fabric with the colors she liked for her bedroom that is being remodeled. I ordered 3 yards of the fabric and picked out some fabrics from my stash that would go well with the fabric. I have a longarm quilter so I can quilt it pretty fast. I will be getting the fabric that I ordered on the 26th and her birthday is on the

28th of November.

Don't know why I am having so much trouble with this.

Thanks Pat

Hello to yet another Pat!! Warm wishes is quick, easy, pretty, and the pattern is free! It is on-line offering of Quiltmaker Magazine. I've made it several times, and always enjoy it.

One of my favorites for a quick quilt is the Yellow Brick Road pattern. It goes together very quickly and always looks good.

This worked up superfast. it was two 6.5" squares (one focus and one background fabric)and one 6.5 x 12.5" of focus fabric to make a square. set on pointand then alternate with the 12.5" setting squares of background fabric I embroidered in the setting squares, but fancy quilting or signatures would be nice too...

I feel like I'm sounding like a broken record, but ... Warm Wishes is always quick and easy. It can be made bed size (or any size you want)

Pat, I would reduce the stress. Don't worry about getting the quilt done for her birthday. Wrap up the fabric and a note that this will become a quilt for her "new" room. Perhaps she would like to help pick out a pattern, and even help make the quilt?? It would be a great gift to her, if she is interested at all in the process. It would be a gift of time spent with her as well as the finished quilt. And a whole lot less stress on you to finish something too quickly....which is always when I, at least, tend to make mistakes and do too much reverse sewing.
