I agree, DO NOT be discouraged!!! There are a lot of just square ideas out there for free!! An easy one is to sew strips of fabrics (all the same width) together. then cut them going across the strips so that you not have strips of blocks. then sew these strips together (moving 1 or 2 blocks down so that you do not have the same color next to each other) Viola!! You have a quilt with simple blocks!!
