Smile I'm going to teach a new teenager to quilt

Hi,
Can you please help me decide on a pattern to help a teenager learn to sew. She is a new friend to my daughter. My duaghter wants to make a quilt at the same time. But the catch is my daughter does not like doing the same quilt twice.
So BQ and Turning 20 are out.

Any ideas?

Should I let her pick her fabrics or should I look for a kit. Her foster mom said if she wants to learn that would be great. She does not sew at all. I'll PIF her an older machine that does straight stich only. Nothing fancy- one that I picked up for under 20 dollars. I think she will be great- she looked at a book and picked out a complex quilt and I said I think we need to begin simple.

Please send ideas my way.
Thanks in advance.
