Thank you all so far for your pattern recommendations. I have fussed with the nine patch and agree it's not the easiest to line up as a beginner. The rail fence may be better? I also do not know what BQ is? I will see if anybody else has any other recommendations and do appreciate all of your help.

I also felt like you did with the nine patch and felt like giving up but I am still going! Currently hand quilting Grandmother's flower garden and love it (with 1930's fabric). The next project is machine quilting with a pattern. Any other pattern recommendations, help is appreciated!

I entered the world of quilting using a big block free pattern with 4 10 1/2" blocks, a sashing in between each of the four rows. Side borders and a smaller 5 1/2" block corners. It is very simple and only where the corner blocks need to match up is required. The finished quilt is 50" X 65". The pattern came from a free website and is from Claudia's Quilt Shop listed as for Absolute Beginners. I love to use this pattern over and over and it sure makes quilting go fast. I have even altered the pattern to be smaller for a baby's quilt. No stress using this pattern.
