Another reallly, realllllly easy quilt is Sassy Sixteen. You make it with 16 fat quarters of fabric, and all the pattern pieces are the same. It give a patchwork look without the little bitty pieces. It's a great one to practice a straight stitch on, and just getting used to sewing.

Hi and welcome from Mass.

Hi and welcome from W. TN! We are glad you found us! I'm like you...I don't sew (hate it)...but love to quilt! Who woulda thought it?? Have fun!

Hi, welcome from East Texas. Sewing now will be so much easier. When I first started college, accounting was kicking my behind but now many years later I get It. Start with basic things like squares and straight lines. Be sure you use a good quilting ruler & measure, measure, measure. It makes all the difference in the world. Don't be scared of a rotor cutter they are scary at first but you will get the hang of them. Good luck. Oh & like my mama always says, read the dang instructions.

HI from Orchard Park NY....this is a great forum and you will gain tons of support and ideas from everyone here!

I'm also a newbie and hated garment sewing but I love quilting. I found the easiest way to begin was to buy a jelly roll and start sewing. It gives you great practice on sewing the 1/4 inch seam, still working on that one, and the cutting isn't that complicated. You can finish a quilt quickly with this method.

Welcome to the group.
