I am on a waiting list to take a basic quilting class, but am trying to learn by doing anything that says "beginners, easy, and especially super super easy.......but they all have "quilt as desired"!!!!

Welcome to the board and the wonderful world of quilting. I have many table runners from that pattern and just quilt in the ditch. Use a walking foot, have the batting and backing a tad larger than the top. That way you have wiggle room. When you are done, trim the batting/backing the same as the top. Now do the binding.

I think it would look cool if you did stitch in the ditch for it all except the center and then if you have an embroidery machine, hoop it and put a pretty design in the center. If you don't have an embroidery machine use a large decorative stitch from your machine for the center motiff.
