Welcome to the board from Chattanooga, TN. I agree that paper piecing would be a tough start for a beginner. I enjoy it and use it when I find a pattern I really love. There are several simple pattern you would love.
Do you have sewing experience? If you do than Log Cabin is a good start. You can make a beautiful quilt with simple straight line sewing and today they have taken log cabins to the next level.
I wish you all the enjoyment and you will find it feed an artistic side or creative side that women are born to need to feel.
