Don't forget there are tons of free patterns online. Also, browse quilt books on Amazon and eBay to find the style you like: scrappy, strip pieced, modern style, etc. Once you see one you like, buy the book used. When I first got started quilting I spent hours looking at quilt images online (still do!) to figure out the styles I liked and with an easy level of difficulty. Just Google "easy quilt patterns", "free quilt patterns", "modern quilts", etc. And have fun!
