    Go to www.quilterscache.com
    They have LOTS of quilt block patterns that are very simple. My first pieced quilt was made as a sampler with many different easy block patterns so I got that experience of making different designs. I chose 12 inch blocks and looked for ones without too many pieces. Good luck.

    My first quilt is "Cotton Reels" on this website. It is a very easy pattern to make. Once you get to quilterscache, go to Blocks Galore, or just type that into google.

    This is a fantastic site. Usually on the second page you can see how other people have made the same quilt with different colors and different borders.

    You'll definitely love the site!

    A Rail Fence or a Turning Twenty is easy. Enjoy your new addiction!

    According to Barnes & Noble, it's easy. Here is their link:
    http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Qui.../9781592171996

    Found the following page that shows the actual quilts in the book. From the pictures, I would say that some of the quilts are easy but some are more in the intermediat range.
