Since easy is in the eye of the beholder, I'd watch some Missouri Star Quilt youtube videos to see what appeals to you. (Don't do Quartered Stripes, that one was a royal pain.) I haven't made it, but Falling Charms looks like an easy one. I've made a Disappearing 9 patch, which most folks think is easy, but I hated that the direction of the seams was not controlled. I made an I spy quilt that was named "Happy Blocks". It was easy, as it didn't have many matching seams. My cousin loves the original Turning Twenty for an easy quilt. Flannel Bricks is an easy one. You don't have to use flannel and it has no matching seams. This is one I'd like to make. It does have matching seams, but look doable. It has a scrappy look.
Other than those, do a search for "easy quilts for a beginner". There are tons of them.

the Rail fence pattern is very easy, but not one of my favorites. My go-to, easy pattern is called Five Easy Pieces Charity Quilt and if you do a search on this board for that you will find it in the archives of the Tutorials section. I gave complete instructions. Although I did it in masculine colors, scroll down through the posts and see examples of others that did it in feminine colors. Would be great in modern brights/prints too depending upon her tastes.

I love Jenny Doan's Exploding Block quilt. Easy, fun to make, and it looks great. Here is a link to her tutorial

Teresa Down Under does nice tutorials, I like the square within a square. simple. easy. Cut out a square of flower, animal or whatever is a favorite of the receiver use it as a square pattern to cut the next square. Mark an 'X' on it and sew around all four sides. Carefully cut out the 'X' pattern but do not cut the square you started with. Repeat as many times as you need to get the size that you want. Use colors that relate back to what you started with in the first square.
Then there is the www.quilterscache.com that tells you how easy or hard each block is, and it is free to use. Judy Martin also has free patterns and Fons and Porter has a magazine called "Quick Quilts" or visit their site. As does Moda and other main designers names. Good Luck, its hard for me to choose sometimes.

Warm Wishes in a modern feature fabric and modern colors for the strips. Kaffe Fassett, maybe? Google Warm Wishes and some in more colorful fabrics will show up. https://www.quiltingcompany.com/free...y-warm-wishes/
