What is a newbies quilt pattern that doesn't look "too easy" She doesn't really seem interested in the charm quilts, so I would need something else. Thanks to all who can share this excitement with me and others who can help me with a pattern.
There's a very simple paper pieced block that can easily be done by a child (with guidance, of course). I've forgotten the name of the block, but it's a jar block -- maybe bugs in a jar or something like that. I'll go digging and see if I can find it. My GD did it when she was 9.
