Yellow brick road is probably the easiest quilt pattern I can think of to begin with. The cost is nominal and is made by Atkinson. Pattern comes with instructions on fabric amounts, cutting, assembly. Gives directions for I believe 3 or 4 different sizes. It goes together easily and quickly. Can coordinate or go totally scrappy. At first I tried to find it free online-no can do. Being forced to buy the pattern was probably good because it gives easy reference and better illustrations than the pictures I found. Hope this helps.
