I know that you really can find most any pattern on the internet when you are talking about blocks of simple applique. But I think that a beginning quilter really will enjoy going back and forth through a magazine, seeing the directions on the next page from the quilt, even if you never make the quilt, you pick up the basic construction ideas. And they are just fun to look through.
I am not a very prolific quilter, but I have been around quilting for a long time, so I know most of the basics even if I don't have the skills to keep up with the big kids. So I still enjoy looking though magazines, many of which I pass onto friends, because after a while I will look at them and think, I won't really make any of these.
So speaking as a beginner, I suggest McCalls Quick Quilts, or Fons and Porter. Look past the fabrics they use.
