Sandy has a great idea. If you want something pieced, I would do a simple turning twenty, or sashed square, something along those lines, with the least amount of detail, or a simple strip quilt used from scraps if you have a lot of them.

Use fleece for the back, and make a placemat version.. No binding. I made a few of those for Quilt for kids.. I used 12 inch blocks for the front.. Sorry for the incomplete sentences. Thinking as I type. :)
Thank you everyone for your suggestions, they are great. I'm anxious to get started. Just have to share a little story. My grandgt and i went to the shelter this afternoon to drop off touques, mitts and scarves. There was a group of people standing outside in -25 fehrenheit weather who were obviously residents of the shelter. As we walked by to return to the car, we were greeted with Happy New Year wishes. Thank you and God bless my friends. I would also like to wish Happy New Year to all of you, my quilting family.
You could reuse curtains from the charity shop. Our local shop sells pairs of curtains for 99p! I buy lots of them because I'm a Residential Landlord and supply curtains in my houses. Quick wash and they're refreshed and ready to use. I've often thought some of them would make good quilts. I was thinking of the animals here, because I think they'd need slightly thicker and hardwearing fabric as would, I imagine, anyone on the streets.
Warm wishes is a nice and easy pattern that looks great
