Oh, I hope you find something you will try. I am a beginner too and I just had to stop fretting myself and jump in on one... and, I started with just making one little block or two of different kinds. I love making the star but that has points. I was going to do a block pattern because it looked simple enough for even me... I have not done it yet... I will try to attached it here. I prefer the more challenging ones now that i have done them. I learned on my own too and I found that watching the "you tube" videos helped me a lot. If you want some of my saved videos and or patterns that I have found you can email me
[email protected] and I will send you what I have
:-) hang in there! it will come to you after you try a few blocks out.
you have to adobe reader and click this download for the pattern
