Hey All... Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
The easiest block I have ever made is a rail fence... Cut strips, sew them together side by side, press, & cut blocks from the strip units. Sew blocks together in rows, playing with the placement for the desired effect. Instant quilt top. (basicly) Google search it... You'll see many variations of it and placement ideas, but it is still super easy. (Good practice too)
Hope this helps... Good luck! :-)
