There are great books out there with all kinds of patterns. There are also places on Google and Youtube that will give you free patterns and advice. My advice, as a relatively new FMQer is to start by doing your own thing. Loosen up and just let it go. Start with large loops, that was the easiest for me at first. Quilting gloves help a lot. Don't give up! It takes some of us longer than others. (In my case a lot longer!)
