Nice to have you here. You will find lots of help. I made several of the youtube videos of Missouri Star quilt company. They have video tutorials of how to make many easy patterns (really super easy) and look very elegant. I probably made half of her quilting tutes last year and all were nice.
Good luck
Oh here is the link to one of them:
