This quilt looks pieced, but really it's a cowboy panel.
We have received several Bob the Builder panels that make perfect quilts for preschoolers.
But panel quilts are easy to make for teens, too -- look at this flower power one!

Linus committee quilts
Our committee cuts kits and guild members take them home to make them, or we make them up on a worknight. Lots of people contribute to each quilt, from fabric donation to sewing the label on the finished quilt! This Simple Strippie pattern is from Project Linus headquarters.
Here's a disappearing 9 patch with a dinosaur theme.
Here's a simple 9 patch using our "ugly" fabrics (that is, fabrics not really designed for children), but the addition of an appliqued puppy turns it into an adorable child's quilt.
This was made from donated blocks that used Sesame Street fabric. Cute!
