Hi from Las Vegas. Welcome. I too am a fairly newbie to quilting and am 76 and will be 77 in Oct. Never to late for us old gals to learn a new trick or two!! I agree that a nine patch or a four patch would probably be the easiest to start with. There are some great tutorials on https://www.youtube.com]https://www.youtube.com[/url] for beginners and you will find a wealth of support here on the board.

Go to a local quilt shop or senior center(most have quilt lessons) and see if you can find a beginners class, A couple lessons should put you on the right track.

Welcome. My older daughter's name is Corinne (spelled the same) which is a faily uncommon name with that spelling. I am 76. Have been quilting off and on for a number of years, but still consider myself a beginner. We're never too old to learn something new. Just start with something simple and work up.

Wow! Big family. I only have 11 grandchildren and 3 great grand children. Love them all. Glad you have joined and hope to see some of the quilts you make. Welcome from North Texas

Welcome from South Florida. It is never to late to learn a new craft. I am brand new to quilting at age 70 and the people from all over the country and outside of the USA are all willing to help whoever needs it. Just ask some questions and you will definitely get the answers. Try going on our Live Chat in the evening and you will get to meet some fantastic quilters from all over the world, who make each other laugh, we talk about everything and anything and do get around to quilt talking sometimes. It is a most enjoyable way to spend some time and get answers to whatever you need to know.
