There are quilts that can be made out of what I call "Cheater Cloth", where the quilt pattern is printed on the fabric, but there is no cutting/sewing of pieces, you just quilt around your fabric's printed design...or square/diamond stitch across the whole thing...or buy pre-quilted fabric and put a border on it.
I prefer to cut/sew to choose the design, make the fabrics 'sing' and let the design shine. Cheater cloths tend to limit, IMO, but they can be used to make mass quantities of quick and cheap quilts. But then I tend to think they LOOK quick and cheap, too.

...here is a cheater cloth, but it was 'spendy' fabric but very nicely done...
...a quilt made-to-order for my nephew who wanted dinosaurs... (it took nearly 4+ yards of fabric just to cut out the 18 dinosaur shapes, not a 'cheap' quilt, though very simple)
...one suitable for a young girl... (still simple in design, but the fabric 'sings')
