Welcome to the board from Southern California!
There are a lot of nice and easy patterns for beginner quilters. One of my favorites is called Yellow Brick Road. Another is called Bits and Pieces. they use fat quarters, are easy to cut and sew together.
You can also try a 4 patch or a 9 patch or even a Rail Fence quilt. So many different choices!!
Hope you have a great time finding a pattern and the fabrics to go with it!
