Quilts do not have to be difficult or take a lot of time, as shown by the picture below. This is a perfect starter quilt.  It can be made small for a baby, or a little larger for a lap quilt.  It is also a good design for a charity quilt.  All you have to do is change the fabrics for the look you want.  If you want to take it up a notch, just put a star block in the corners.
