Welcome to the board. Rail fence or a 9 patch are easy blocks. I actually started with a sampler so I learned a lot of techniques on my first quilt.

I made a log cabin for my first quilt. I took a class and was taught how to use a rotary cutter. Haven't looked back sine. The log cabin is still my favorite!
