Your local quilt shop probably offers classes. That would be a great start...you'll avoid all the trial and error phase and have a great first quilt in a very short time:>)

Welcome! Good luck with your first quilt. A Log Cabin, Rail Fence, Trip Around the World, 4-Patch or squares of several different fabrics are all good beginner's quilts. Most of all...have fun.

I agree. I did a huge sampler in a class to start. Learned many things that have helped ever since!
