I'm new on here too and new to quilting. I've made two quilts, one a baby quilt and the other a lap quilt. I've used pretty basic patterns, strips of various colors with borders. Right now I'm making Christmas stockings for my daughters and their families. I want to make sure I get it done in time! :) When I finish them I'm going to start on lap quilts for each of my daughters. I'd like to try a four patch or a nine patch.
