Hello and welcome from another newbie!

I'd recommend that you stay away from anything with triangles in it, and keep the seam matching to a minimum! Can you tell that those are my bugaboos?

Above all, have fun and don't stress too much!

Hello and welcome. I started quilting using the Log Cabin pattern, fairly simple. You could make a Warm Wishes quilt as well. I found that one to be quite easy.

Hi and welcome from Alaska. Start with something simple. Rail fence or something that does not need lining up of seams.

Welcome from southeast Texas. Rail Fence is a good beginner quilt.

Hi IrmaGail: Welcome! I might suggest a nine patch, easy straight stitching and not too overwhelming. You can even alternate the nine patch squares with a focus print so only half as many need to be pieced. Good luck with whatever you choose. Let us see your efforts when you're ready.
