Quick & Easy Quilts is perfect for the quilter who's short on time. The 12 projects in this collection not only look great–they make you feel great because you can finish them in a weekend or less.

Using quilting shortcuts like charm blocks and simple paper piecing, these beautiful quilts will come together in a flash. Whether you like traditional nine-patch blocks or have a more experimental taste in fabrics and designs, you'll find a project to love in Quick & Easy Quilts. 

My favorite color is pink, so the Chocolate Covered Cherries pattern caught my eye. This too-sweet quilt combines pink and brown fabrics and features a basic cross motif. Another stand-out project in this collection is the Summer Dreams Rail Fence quilt. Though most of the quilt is black and white, Quick & Easy Quilts adds a dash of color with summer images including a sun, star, flower, and fish. The templates that accompany the pattern make each embellishment a cinch.

If neither of these projects strike your fancy, there are ten more from which to choose:

• Stunning Stars Fat-quarter friendly!
• Optica – You won't be able to take your eyes off this gorgeous pattern.
• Quick Step – A classic, minimalist design
• Corporal's Stripes
• Walk Around the Block 2-day project!
• Woven Indigo
• Nine-Patch Twirl
• Go Team! – Show your team spirit!
• Seven-Patch
• Summer Shores

Stuck inside on a rainy day? Don't want to brave the cold winter night? Just plain bored? Crack open Quick & Easy Quilts and get to work on a stunning handmade quilt. Give your finished pieces to family members, friends, or keep them for yourself. After all, it's quick and easy to make another one!
